Videos in Metagenomics 2008

Wellness and Diseases: Implications of Important Microbiota
The microbiota in personalized preventative medicine: how do we get from here to there and what role does metagenomics play? Synopsis—In this session we will (i) identify major questions and...

Single molecule analyses of DNA in environmental microbes
Comprehensive characterization of genomic composition in environmental microbial samples has been challenging, because the majority of microorganisms are difficult to culture. Additional challenges...

The Importance of Marine Picoeukaryotes and the Search for Lost Time
Unicellular eukaryotes are responsible for a massive amount of photosynthetic carbon fixation in marine systems. The smallest among these fall within the “pico” size fraction (<2 micrometers in...

Setting the Stage: Mobilizing the Metagenomics Community
About 250 leaders in the emerging science of metagenomics converged at the UC San Diego division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) earlier this...

Summary of Subgroup Discussions for Metagenomics 2008
John Wooley of UC San Diego makes Closing Remarks for the Metagenomics 2008 Conference

Structural Genomics (SG) & Beginning a Research Dialogue with the Metagenomics Community
Ian Wilson of The Scripps Research Institute & Stephen Burley, Eli Lilly & Co. Presents "Structural Genomics (SG) & Beginning a Research Dialogue with the Metagenomics Community"

Deep-Ocean Metagenomics: Comparative Investigations of Microbes Inhabiting Hydrothermal Vents and the Cold Deep Ocean
The deep-ocean accounts for the majority of the water on our planet. While the cold deep-ocean is the dominant nutrient-challenged ecosystem, hydrothermal vents represent oases along tectonically...
