Two new research projects are funded!
We are pleased to announce that two new research projects will be funded by the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food as well as the Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Forsten.
New Publication in Briefings in Bioinformatics
We are pleased to announce our new review paper describing challenges in amplicon and metagenomics sequencing, which has just been published in Briefings in Bioinformatics (https://doi.org/10.1093/bib/bbz155).
New Publication in Nucleic Acids Research
We are pleased to announce the next generation of the online resources AraPheno (https://arapheno.1001genomes.org) and the AraGWAS Catalog (https://aragwas.1001genomes.org) which has just been published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research (https://academic.oup.com/nar/advance-article/doi/10.1093/nar/gkz925/5603218). AraPheno is a central and manually curated repository for high-quality phenotypes for the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. As of September 2019 AraPheno contains more than 462 publicly available phenotypes, making it the largest data resource for population-scale phenotypes in A. thaliana, by far. With this release, AraPheno has been extended to support RNA-Seq expression profiles for thousands of samples and genes.
New Publication in Oxford Database
Dominik Grimm contributed as a member of the international RELISH Consortium to create a large annotated dataset for benchmarking document similarity literature search. The manuscript with the title “Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search” got published in the journal Database – The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation from Oxford Academic (link).
