Techniques and research areas
- Recombinant strain development for production of proteins, polysaccharides, and metabolites with an industrial potential
- Enzyme evolution through mutagenesis and screening
- Standard molecular biology techniques (Isolation and quantification of DNA, RNA and/or proteins, restriction digestion, sub-cloning, ligation, PCR, cDNA synthesis, separation by gel electrophoresis or FPLC, SDS-PAGE, Southern-blot, Western-blot, Northern-blot, assembly cloning (SLIC, Gibson assembly etc.), transformation of Escherichia coli and other bacteria, (conjugation from E. coli)
- Library cloning and cloning of large DNA fragments (BAC, fosmids) and screening (at the HTS laboratory)
- Taxonomic population studies by amplicon sequencing
- Largescale Illumina Sequencing (genome sequencing, metagenome sequencing), assembly, and annotation
- Transcriptome analysis (RNASeq, microarray)
- Enzyme assays
