Climate change is a growing global concern and is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as drought. Soil …

Traditionally, the choice of codons to encode amino acid sequences of proteins has been assumed to be neutral terms of fitness. We now know …

Our lab works on identifying the genes that regulate immune cell formation and function in humans. For this, we have produced large datasets of …

Our Clinical neurogenetics research group is focused on the investigation of the genetic background of a number of neurological disorders. Patients with disorders like …

Remarkably few vertebrates display tumor resistance properties. This select group includes salamanders, renowned for their tumor resistance, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this ability …

We use whole-genome and whole-transcriptome sequencing data from primary cancer samples to elucidate genetic subgroups of potential clinical relevance. Our next step will be …

Description: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are genomic remnants of retroviral infections and subsequent expansion that are present in most organisms. In the human genome ERVs occupy …

Accelerometers allow the remote study of animal activities and thus offer a huge advantage over traditional studies based on direct human observations. Beyond simple …

In the forest ecosystem, dead wood is a dynamic and complex ecological niche in which fungi play a central role in the decomposition of …

There are several known cases of fungi altering insect behaviour, but few studies have turned the question around and asked the opposite: how are …

The loss of plant diversity is a growing global concern, driven by changes in land-use and climate. Maintaining plant diversity is important for ecosystem …

Soil microbial decomposers, including bacteria and fungi, are the gatekeepers of the soil carbon cycle, determining the fraction of decomposed carbon that becomes part …

Bacteria and fungi associated with plants play critical roles in plant growth, fitness, and stress tolerance. These microbial communities inhabit the rhizosphere—the soil zone …

Soils are the largest organic carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems, storing carbon as organic matter derived from decomposed plant, microbial, and animal residues that …
