A tip of the Deník: our Botanical Garden

A WALK THROUGH THE BOTANICAL GARDEN of Masaryk University’s Faculty of Science will allow you to see plants from all over the world. In the greenhouses, for example, you will find rice, banana trees, ferns, succulents and various types of palms and bromeliads. The outdoor area is freely accessible, though you must ring the bell to enter the greenhouses.

There is a charge for admission to the greenhouses.

Researchers have developed a tool that will enhance drug discovery and exploration of the biological function of these molecules

A new bioinformatic tool, BGC Atlas, was developed by a consortium of bioinformaticians led by Prof. Nadine Ziemert and the main developer Dr. Caner Bagci. The tool identifies and clusters biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from publicly available datasets, offering a centralised database and a web interface for metadata-aware exploration of BGCs and gene cluster families (GCFs).
