Dr. Gemma Collins

Dr. Gemma Collins is a postdoctoral fellow working on the ‘MetaInvert’ project to compare genomes from over 250 individual soil invertebrates. This includes functional analyses of the genomes as well as evaluating any factors that may influence the success of genome sequencing. One of the overarching aims of MetaInvert is to generate a representative resource of soil invertebrate species in Germany for use as a reference library for metagenomic sequencing and Dr. Gemma Collins will also be contributing towards that goal.
