Description:

Helmholtz Zentrum München (HMGU) is the German Research Center for Environmental Health. It investigates important common diseases which develop from the interaction of lifestyle, environmental factors and personal genetic background and has the vision to develop mitigation strategies for the future. In this respect the production of healthy food is one of the key issues that are currently discussed.

The Research Unit for Environmental Genomics (EGEN) aims to improve our understanding on the role of microbes for sustainable plant growth. To open the black box of soil microbes and to identify important functional traits, EGEN developed in the last years a second generation sequencing network for a high throughput analysis of microbial metagenomes and transcriptomes.
