Applied Maths
Applied Maths is a corporate ESGEM member; it develops cutting-edge software for the Biosciences and offers a uniquely complete portfolio of Bioinformatics applications. The company's strength lies in the combination of bio(techno)ogical and mathematical know-how.
QIAGEN
QIAGEN is a corporate ESGEM member; it creates sample and assay technologies that enable access to content from any biological sample.
ENEMTI - ESF Network for Exchange of Microbial Typing Information
ENEMTI is a network of European laboratories that aims to standardise methods and data exchange protocols for Internet-based comparison of microbial fingerprinting data. We aim initially to develop an Internet-based database system for DNA fingerprints that is readily accessible and user-friendly for microbiologists with only limited computer expertise.
Epi-typing
Epi-typing is a discussion list on microbial pathogens molecular epidemiology and population genetics.
European Working Group for Legionella Infections
The European Working Group for Legionella Infections (EWGLI) was formed in 1986. Its members are scientists with an interest in improving knowledge and information on the epidemiological and microbiological (clinical & environmental) aspects of legionnaires' disease.
Genetic Epidemiology Network for Europe
The Genetic Epidemiology Network for Europe (GENE) project aims at establishing a common language for bacterial strain fingerprinting, based on a fully-automated technology, ribotyping, used by many microbiology institutions in Europe, the USA and Asia.
In silico
The In silico website allows in silico simulation of molecular biology experiments.
Multi Locus Sequence Typing
Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) is a nucleotide-sequence based approach for the unambiguous characterization of isolates of bacteria and other organisms via the internet. The aim of MLST is to provide a portable, accurate, and highly discriminating typing system that can be used for most bacteria and some other organisms. It is envisaged that this approach will be particularly helpful for the typing of bacterial pathogens.
