Mainzer Wissenschaftsallianz (Mainz Science Alliance)

 

Since 2008, the Mainz Science Alliance has represented the breadth and quality of research and technological know-how in and around Mainz. This scientific, economic and social network was founded as a non-profit association at the beginning of June 2013. The objective was to increase networking of the universities, scientific institutions and companies in Mainz and its environs to promote research and science and to thereby strengthen Mainz as a centre of scientific activity. A further objective was to increase the national and international visibility of Mainz as an economic region.

SARS-CoV-2 Sequencing Konsortium Mainz

 

Das Konsortium aus Einrichtungen der Universitätsmedizin Mainz, der Johannes Gutenberg Universität sowie der Firma StarSEQ bietet die technologische Plattform für die SARS-CoV-2-Sequenzanalyse nach den Richtlinien des Robert-Koch Instituts. Die vom Konsortium erstellten Genomsequenzen gehen in die nationale Überwachungsinitiative gemäß der Coronavirus-Surveillanceverordnung (CorSurV) ein. Die aktuelle Entwicklung der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie zeigt eine kontinuierliche Neuentstehung und Ausbreitung von genetischen Varianten des Virus mit z.T. gesteigertem Infektionspotenzial und erhöhter Pathogenität. Es ist daher erforderlich, diese dynamischen Prozesse der Variantenentstehung und -ausbreitung zu überwachen und zu erforschen. Die Sequenzierung und bioinformatische Analyse kompletter viraler Genome ist hierfür das Mittel der Wahl.
