Understanding the role of our genes in SARS-CoV-2 infections
EMBL scientists will contribute to the new German COVID-19 OMICS Initiative to study the biological mechanisms contributing to coronavirus infections. EMBL group leaders Jan Korbel and Oliver Stegle, who is also affiliated with the DKFZ Heidelberg, will coordinate the set-up of IT infrastructures to support the collection, distribution, and analysis of genomic data from COVID-19 patients.
DNA damage and faulty repair jointly cause mutations
DNA mutations are caused by a combination of DNA damage and repair, shows study by EMBL-EBI and collaborators.
Why share data during a pandemic?
In March 2020, planes were grounded, streets went quiet, and our lives changed forever. But while the world came to a halt, many scientists were ramping up their efforts to understand the new virus.
EMBL-EBI launches COVID-19 Data Portal
The new collaborative space will help scientists, public health and healthcare professionals around the world to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
Analysis of human genomes in the cloud
Scientists from EMBL present a tool for large-scale analysis of genomic data with cloud computing. Main advantages of the new tool, called Butler, are continuous system monitoring and its ability to self-heal in case of failure, allowing for 43% more efficient data processing than previous approaches. The tool was developed for the Pan-Cancer project. The […]
