+ The Max-Planck Institut für Infektionsbiologie
+ (http://www.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de) contains over 200 scientific and
+ technical staff, including a small bioinformatics group, and is
+ dedicated to basic research on problems relating to infectious
+ diseases. The institute performs molecular biological, cell
+ biological and immunological research on multiple bacterial
+ pathogens, that are variously responsible for millions of deaths per
+ year due to tuberculosis, dysentery, meningitis and other
+ diseases. Within the institute, a research group of 7 scientists led
+ by Dr. Mark Achtman
+ (http://www.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de/institut/molecular01.htm)
+ concentrates on reconstructing the evolution of bacterial
+ pathogens. Approaches from the fields of bioinformatics, population
+ genetics and theoretical biology are used to elucidate signals
+ within DNA sequences of bacteria from epidemiologically relevant
+ collections. In recent years, the group has demonstrated that
+ certain bacterial pathogens evolved only very recently while others
+ have accompanied the spread of anatomically modern humans throughout
+ the last 200,000 years. These analyses are performed in a
+ heterogeneous network of Windows and UNIX workstations and data is
+ stored in a variety of different database systems. Global WEB-based
+ publication of data within the databases
+ (http://web.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de) will be greatly expanded in the
+ immediate future. The group uses Python extensively for its
+ bioinformatic analyses, will help in the development of Pypy and
+ will act as a test site to evaluate increased performance within its
+ bioinformatic activities.
