May 2–4, 2016, Walnut Creek, CA
The DOE JGI has recently developed an integrated pipeline where biosynthetic pathways present in these genomes are computationally mined, refactored and synthesized de novo to facilitate expression in heterologous hosts. The aim of this meeting is to bring together a diverse group of investigators interested in the role of secondary metabolites in plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions. The meeting’s central goals include mediating an exchange of ideas and approaches for studying and manipulating the impact of secondary metabolites on environmental systems and to serve as an opportunity for the meeting participants to learn about JGI capabilities (large-scale DNA sequencing, data mining and synthesis capabilities) available to them.
