Funded by the Excellent Research Support Program of the University of Cologne, our project aims to interconnect infrastructures and pool competences to make genomic assessment of biodiversity feasible at the scale of entire ecosystems. To achieve this, we have built an interdisciplinary team that links our research (Waldvogel Lab & worm~lab) with the Regional Computing Center (RRZK) of the University of Cologne, the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (MPI-PZ) and the West German Genome Center (WGGC), represented by the Cologne Center for Genomics (CCG).

Since 1st of July 2023, the team including three students has been building up the biodiversity genomic platform to process samples and data most effectively and finally release genomes publicly.
Find the released genome reports:
-> Lasius platythorax
-> Coccomyxa viridis
-> Knipowitschia cf. caucasica

Ann-Marie & Philipp during sample collection on the Ecological Rhine Station of the University of Cologne. Over the next two years, the team will record ecologically important freshwater species as case studies within the ecological long-term research study REES of Germany's largest inland waterway, the River Rhine. This does not only contribute to establishing the structure of BioC² but it also creates important genomic resources for the biodiversity of our domestic rivers, which so far has not been sufficiently explored.
