PD Dr. Katharina Hoff is an expert in software development for the analysis of eukaryotic genomic sequences. A key focus of her research is the annotation of protein coding genes with deep learning and extrinsic evidence, such as transcriptomic or proteomic data.
Some of the software Dr.Katharina Hoff has contributed to developing includes:
PD Dr. Katharina Hoff supports Alg4Nut (Work Package 4) with her expertise in the assembly and annotation of long read metagenome sequences. She will particularly focus on analyzing the eukaryotic proportion of the rumen microbiome. For this, she supervises the training of a cross-clade deep learning gene finder.
