This student-led project, by Victor Oladeji Betiku, which aims to perform bioinformatics
analysis of metagenomic data from wastewater and
human gut microbiomes to identify bacterial injection
systems (BIS), specifically contractile injection systems
(CIS). The project focuses on processing large-scale
sequencing data to uncover novel bacterial systems with
applications in health, antibiotic resistance, and
personalized medicine. The analysis will rely on
computational power to perform high-throughput data
processing, structural analysis, and functional profiling of
bacterial systems within the microbiomes.
