Meet Sebastian at Metabolomics 2015

Sebastian will attend the Conference of the Metabolomics Society 2015 in San Franciso, and give a talk on “Searching molecular structure databases with tandem mass spectra using CSI:FingerID”. On Tuesday after 6 pm, Steffen Neumann and Sebastian will head the BoF meeting on Computational Mass Spectrometry.

Kinderuni am Freitag 19. Juni

Am Freitag 19. Juni 2015 wird Sebastian im Rahmen der KinderUni Jena einen Vortrag zum Thema “Auch Computer müssen aufräumen” halten. Start ist um 16:00 Uhr, Veranstaltungsort ist der Hörsaal 7 in der Carl Zeiss Straße 3 (neben der Mensa).

SIRIUS 3.0 release

We present SIRIUS 3.0, a java-based software for discovering a landscape of de-novo identification of metabolites using single and tandem mass spectrometry.
SIRIUS uses isotope pattern analysis for detecting the molecular formula and further analyses the fragmentation pattern of a compound using fragmentation trees.

The version 3.0 is a complete rewrite of our previous software. It uses faster algorithms for the fragmentation tree computation and a revised scoring based on Bayesian statistics.

A command line tool is available here. We will add a graphical user interface soon.

We will present a paper at COCOON 2015

Our paper  “Speedy Colorful Subtrees” will be presented at the International Computing and Combinatorics Conference (COCOON 2015) in Beijing, China.

COCONUT released!

We present the first release of our renewed tool for estimating the composition distribution from mass spectra of synthetic copolymers. COCONUT provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface and can be downloaded here.

Gecko3 released!

We released the new version of Gecko — our software for finding gene clusters. Gecko3 offers an easy-to-use graphical user interface, but can also be used as a command line tool in an analysis pipeline. Downloads are available here.

GCB 2012 website has been moved

The website of the German Conference on Bioinformatics 2012 has been moved from http://www.gcb2012-jena.de/ to https://bio.informatik.uni-jena.de/gcb2012/. The content will be made available permanently under the new URL.

Tag der Forschung: Die Digitale Gesellschaft

Am Mittwoch 11. Juni 2014 von 14 bis 21 Uhr findet im Foyer der Carl-Zeiss-Straße 3 sowie den angrenzenden Hörsälen der diesjährige Tag der Forschung zum Thema “Die Digitale Gesellschaft” statt. Gezeigt werden unter anderem Elektrofahrzeuge, Quadrocopter, 3D-Drucker sowie Demos aus den Bereichen Computer Vision und Biodiversität. Die Bioinformatik wird dort ebenfalls vertreten sein. Mehr Informationen gibt es hier.
