Berlin Center for Genomics in Biodiversity Research
The Berlin Center for Genomics in Biodiversity Research (BeGenDiv) is the central point of contact for scientists involved in the Berlin-Brandenburg Institute of Advanced Biodiversity Research (BBIB) to use next-generation technologies for research into the genomics of microorganisms, plants, fungi and animals. These methods are to be used to research a wide range of ecological and evolutionary biological topics. The BeGenDiv is located at the Botanical Museum in Berlin-Dahlem.
The consortium is a joint initiative of partners from the university and non-university sector:
- Freie Universität Berlin, Institut für Biologie
- Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum
- Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries
- Museum für Naturkunde - Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science (MfN)
