Contributing to the first full analysis of an eukaryotic organism’s genome

I successfully completed my master in biology (Dipl.-Biol.) with a specialization on microbiology, genetics and biochemistry,

Within the scope of my master thesis, I had the amazing opportunity to actively contribute to the sequencing and analysis of the first full genome of an eukaryotic organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s or brewer’s yeast). Which is an EU-funded projects with labs from all over Europe working together.

As a result, I had the honor getting a co-author of the scientific publication of the results (which is quite uncommon for master theses).
