Welcome at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics

Research at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (MPIMG) concentrates on the analysis of genome function and regulation during development and disease. We use automated methods and high-throughput technologies for a systematic analysis of genes and genomes, as well as computational methods to analyze and interpret the results. The close connection of experimental and computational methods is one of the main features of many groups at the MPIMG.
