Meet UBC Executive Committee member Ronnie de Jonge

Why do we need bioinformatics to understand plant-microbe interactions? Plant-microbe interactions, and host-microbe interactions in general, involve numerous different components including genes, proteins and metabolites. When evaluating plant-microbiome interactions this is further expanded with many highly diverse organisms. Bioinformatics is instrumental to integrate and manage large-scale datasets detailing these components that are generated to aid […]

UBC Webinar: Learning the language of adaptive immune recognition

Learning the language of adaptive immune recognition Immune repertoires represent a diverse collection of B and T cells which enable the recognition of a seemingly infinite number of molecular structures. Advances in deep sequencing, microfluidics, and bioinformatics are allowing us to investigate and quantify the incredibly complex and personalized nature of adaptive immune responses. I […]
