Crop Bioinformatics
The Crop Bioinformatics group develops and applies bioinformatics tools on genomic data, primarily from crops. We are part of the Institute for Crop Science and Resource Conservation at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Bonn and are located between the faculty offices and the greenhouses in Poppelsdorf.
In particular, we develop methods for protein function prediction & the analysis of gene family evolution in the context of adaptive processes. In collaborations with experimental groups, we analyze genome-wide expression data, insertion mutagenesis datasets and other large-scale sequencing data.

Our teaching efforts are focussed in the M.Sc. Crop Science and M.Sc. ARTS programmes as well as the Land and Food graduate school.
News
Tyll successfully defended his PhD Thesis.
He developed bioinformatics software for analyses ranging from insertional mutagenesis, over causal gene inference, to de-novo prediction of candidate genes for stress adaptation.
