Metagenomics Book Review
Category: Book Review
I am pleased to provide the following excerpt from a book review of Metagenomics: Theory, Methods and Applications:
"The book contains expert reviews on the approach, tools and prospects of metagenomics, on detailed methodologies, on a number of translational applications, and one chapter on conceptualization of the approach and its standing in the natural sciences ... All chapters have exciting concluding remarks, outlining challenges and future perspectives - a hallmark of a young and rapidly rising research area. Most references are from the most recent 10 years, reaching far into 2009, also reflecting the recent advent of this research branch. The book identifies a milestone in modern microbiology with vast impact on other disciplines, and is highly recommended to students and practitioners of molecular biology, biochemistry, all branches of microbiology, bioinformatics, and, last but not least, medicine." from Ulrich Desselberger (Cambridge) writing in Microbiology Today (2010) read more ...

International Symposium on Soil Metagenomics
Category: Conferences | 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.
