Bioinformatics
The bioinformatics lab at the Technical University of Munich, TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability is led by Prof. Dr. Dominik Grimm from the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf.
Bioinformatics is a young interdisciplinary research area that develops computational and statistical tools to analyze, store, integrate and visualize biological and biomedical data. One of the main research areas of our group is the development and usage of novel computational tools and machine learning methods to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying genetic architecture of complex biological processes and phenotypes. In addition, we are interested in developing efficient pipelines and applications to process and analyze Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. Further, we develop modern cloud-based applications and databases to simplify the analysis, storage, retrieval and visualization of diverse and complex biological and biomedical data.
Software & Resources
easyGWAS
easyGWAS is a novel web- and cloud platform for performing, analysing and comparing genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
The AraGWAS Catalog
The AraGWAS Catalog is a public and manually curated database for standardised GWAS results for Arabidopsis thaliana.
Software and Methods developed by the group can be found and downloaded at our Lab News
New Paper and Conference Talk about EVARS-GPR
We published a novel machine learning algorithm EVARS-GPR an EVent-triggered Augmented Refitting of Gaussian Process Regression for Seasonal Data. Florian presented the method at the German AI Conference. The talk can be found on youtube: https://youtu.be/jZ6hZNMa-TE
Sara joins the Team as PostDoc
Sara will advance and support the further development of the Synthetic Biology Foundry.
New DFG Funding
We successfully attracted funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the project “Reinforcement Learning for Automated Flowsheet Synthesis of Steady-State Processes”
