The “Genomic Resources” research group led by Prof. Andone Estonba has been designated a “Consolidated Research Group” by the Department of Education, Universities and Research of the Basque Government (2010-2021), and is part of the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV / EHU). Made up of a total of 12 people including three professors, two post-doctoral researchers and five PhD students and two research assistants, our research group has specialized in the analysis of genomic variability in animal species, including the human species, for over 15 years, acquiring a high level of both human and technological capacity. We have led more than 16 national and international research projects and contracts in the last five years. Currently, we are partners of the HOLOFOOD Project (2019-2022) a Horizon2020 Innovation Action of the European Union (No 817729).

Metagenomics

Metagenomics

The advent of NGS sequencing technologies has made it possible, thanks to the generation of huge volumes of data, the study of whole genomes of a given environment or ecosystem directly from samples, without having to isolate and cultivate those species.

Bioinformatics

We use Bioinformatics tools extensively in our daily research, especially in Metagenomics and Genomics of non-model species. We are also exploring the role of Semantic Web technologies in publishing and consuming the data we produce.
