NGS and Bioinformatics Working Group
The major goal of the NGS and Bioinformatics Working Group (led by Martin Kapun and Maite Barron) is to employ existing bioinformatics methods and develop new solutions to analyze large-scale genomic datasets as generated by the DrosEU Consortium. The increasing amount of pooled re-sequencing data imposes challenges to computation infrastructure, population genetics and statistical analyses. Accordingly, our aim is to continuously update and improve bioinformatics analysis methods as an interactive team and to transfer know-how within and beyond the consortium.
