Rognes group

The group works on microbiome bioinformatics and develops sequence analysis tools.

Swarm

Swarm produces networks like this when clustering 18S rRNA V9 amplicon sequences from the BioMarKs dataset of samples from European near-shore marine sites.

Research aims

Develop rapid and widely useful tools for sequence analysis by exploiting parallelism, smart data structures and effective algorithms. In particular comparison, searching, clustering and classification of sequences.

Projects

  • Tools for microbiome sequencing data analysis (VSEARCH, Swarm)
  • Tool for comparison of adaptive immune receptor repertoires (CompAIRR)
  • Tool for rapid sequence comparison (SWIPE)
  • Publication database and associated statistics (Publika)

Research topics

Software

  • VSEARCH: a versatile open-source tool for metagenomics
  • Swarm: highly-scalable and high-resolution amplicon clustering
  • CompAIRR: Comparison of Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoires
