Tree of Life anders dan gedacht
Recent publiceerden onderzoekers een artikel dat suggereert dat de boom van het leven niet drie, maar twee hoofdtakken heeft. Wat voor implicaties heeft dit? Martijn van Calmthout praat erover met hoogleraar bio-informatica Berend Snel, evolutionair microbioloog Thijs Ettema die deel uitmaakt van het team dat de ontdekking deed. Beluister het interview
We-NMR cluster at Utrecht Bijvoet Center accommodated into Life Science Grid
SURFsara recently set up a new Life Science Grid cluster at the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research (BCBR) in Utrecht, replacing the We-NMR cluster that is used for molecular modelling. The cluster allows users to have access via a local user interface or grid environment giving access also to EU compute resources. Read more on the […]
Beyond research: a primer for considerations on using viral metagenomics in the field and clinic
Infectious diseases often remain undiagnosed because the pathogen is unknown, or not expected in a given patient. In such cases, the only option may be to use metagenomics, an approach that identifies all the micro-organisms in a sample at once, by using a combination of modern high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies, and advanced bioinformatics. Metagenomics is […]
