The activities of complex microbial communities shape our planet and affect the health of the humans. In our group we employ metagenomics and taxonomic marker gene sequencing to explore patterns of microbial diversity and reconstruct genomes and metabolic pathways of microbes in environments ranging from the Baltic Sea to the rumen of Moose. We also develop molecular and bioinformatics tools for enhancing the information output from such studies. An introduction to metagenomics and amplicon sequencing can be found <a href="/metagenomics.html#main">here</a>.

We develop and apply molecular and bioinformatics methods for studying microbes and microbiomes in their natural environment.
42+
The group has a strong focus on microbial ecology and evolution, where meta-omics data is used for deciphering the ecosystem function, regulation, and evolution of microbial populations.
43+
The main ecosystem under study is the Baltic Sea but also animal-associated and engineered ecosystems are studied.

The group leader, Anders Andersson is also coordinating the work on molecular data in the Swedish Biodiversity Data Infrastructure (<a href="https://www.biodiversitydata.se/">SBDI</a>) and is a Scientific co-lead of the SciLifeLab <a href="https://www.scilifelab.se/capabilities/planetary-biology/">Planetary Biology Capability</a>.

We are a group at <a href="https://www.kth.se/en">KTH</a>, located in <a href="https://www.scilifelab.se/contact/campus-solna/">SciLifeLab Stockholm</a>, and collaborate closely with <a href="https://www.su.se/english/divisions/stockholm-university-baltic-sea-centre">Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre</a>.
