Three core-projects are included in the CRC 1182 to serve as service centers and hubs for interaction, aimed at creating substantial scientific value.

Microorganism: Culture and single cell analysis
The main purpose of the Z2 project is to maintain and continue the CRC platform that allows for the isolation and identification of prokaryotic microorganisms and / or consortia associated with animal and plant metaorganisms …
Next generation sequencing and proteomics applications for studying Metaorganisms
The primary task of the Z3 project is to provide a specialized platform for next generation sequencing-based and proteomics-based applications to the individual CRC1182 subprojects, tailored for specific requirements when studying the origin and function …
Data management and integrated analyses
The INF-project supports the demanding data handling and bioinformatic requirements of the CRC. As one of its main objectives, the project facilitates data management through aggregation of metadata and centralized, redundant storage in collaboration with …
