… Research in the Woyke laboratory focuses on the utility of single-cell methods to access genetic material of uncultivated taxa of interest. One such effort is targeted at environmental cells that are from candidate phyla, major branches … genomes are critical to serve as phylogenetic anchors for metagenomes studies.  While uncovering the metabolic …

… Research in the Eloe-Fadrosh group focuses on using genome-resolved metagenomic approaches to identify and characterize genomic information from uncultivated microbes and viruses. We develop … computational approaches to sift through thousands of metagenomes for signatures of viruses and novel microbial …

Although I don’t study people so maybe I’m wrong. But yeah, I mean, because I … them as very small fungi. And this came from a growth on a cow’s cheek. Historically, before antibiotics were common, …

… Prodcast,” a podcast about the science and scientists of secondary metabolism.  DAN: Hey there and welcome back for … the end, we took an approach that was kind of a simplified metagenome sequencing approach to pick this system apart.  … crack this case, then that would open up our field to other study. And so it was kind of an early example, to try to …

… Our research is focused on the discovery and characterization of novel bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic microbes and viruses in environmental sequence data. We use multi-omics (metagenomics, … challenge our understanding of viral complexity and evolution Our research focuses on discovering and characterizing …
