Phylogenomics and molecular taxonomy generate enormous amounts of data through the use of new sequencing techniques, which pose completely new challenges for data analyses and data security.
Within the zmb, we are meeting these challenges by developing new algorithms and programs and operating a high-performance computer.
The bioinformatics, biodiversity informatics, and IT sections work closely together at the LIB.
In addition, they support the scientists at the entire LIB with their expertise. Dr Alexander Donath (bioinformatician) and Mr Sebastian Martin (scientific programmer) are currently based in the section.
