Systeembioinformaticus Daan de Groot met Self-organising adaptation: a universal mechanism for microbial protein expression regulation Cellen kunnen zich aanpassen aan, en groeien in, een verbluffende hoeveelheid omgevingen. Dit lijkt, gezien de eenvoud van individuele cellen, een onmogelijke prestatie. Maar hoe zit dit als een populatie cellen gaat samenwerken? De onderzoekers stellen een universeel mechanisme voor

Two papers were recently published by Chrats about microbial communities. In the first paper, the authors show how microbial communities change during wine fermentations, what are the differences in microbial composition between vineyards and which ones are the species that are present during problematic fermentations. In the second paper, which is a first-authorship for Chrats,

The design and monitoring of bioremediation

Our theoretical work on rate maximisation in metabolism has been published in Plos Computational Biology. In this work, we took a very general approach to ask a very specific question: we included genome-scale metabolic networks, complicated enzyme kinetics, and arbitrary constraints on enzyme expression, and then asked what metabolism looks like for a microorganism that

Some of us in the COMBINE community did and this paper is the result: Harmonizing semantic annotations for computational models in biology – Briefings in Bioinformatics – 21 November 2018.
