Mr Michael Paulini

Senior Bioinformatician

I am working for GRIT on assemblies from the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics group. This includes the curation & annotation of assemblies, as well as identifying holobionts.

The novelty of the ASG approach of co-sequencing whole holobiont systems is of great interest to me, as side-effects on assembly, HiC data generation and curation are an unique challenge.

For this we are testing & developing new processes and tools to see if we can tackle it and provide a valuable resource for the marine science communities.
