The Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics Group investigates the genetic potential of marine bacteria and their mechanisms coded in the genome to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Techniques used are bioinformatic whole genome and metagenome analysis, binning of sequence fragments, phylogenetic inference, expression profiling as well as software and database development for integrated data analysis.

The group organizes international workshops in the field of phylogeny and sequence/genome analysis and is involved in educating bioinformatics at the University Bremen, the Jacobs University Bremen and the MarMic graduate program.
