International Symposium on Soil Metagenomics

December 8 - 10, 2010 International Symposium on Soil Metagenomics
Braunschweig, Germany Further information

The objective and challenge of this Symposium is to open our minds to the new potentials of next generation sequencing, to question our traditional approaches, and to explore and discuss how we can utilize those novel datasets. Which questions can we now dare to address in soil ecology and how can we approach the problems of scales to further unveil the secrets of the huge microbial biodiversity that we find on Earth? Discussions at the launch of a new leap forward in soil microbiology and ecology.
