A microbial community is a group of microbes that live together and interact with one another in a specific habitat. Analysis of a given microbial community can provide information on all the microbes, including fungi and bacteria, present in a sample. Microbial community analysis can aid in biomedical and environmental research.
The Whiteson lab uses culture-independent metagenomics, metabolomics, and ecological statistics along with hypothesis driven, reductionist microbiology to answer questions about how bacteria...
The human large intestine houses trillions of microorganisms which collectively form the highly diverse microbial community known as the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota performs many funct...
Rob Dunn has recently published Never Out of Season, the story of the homogenization of our global food supply and the risks that homogenization poses. He will build on the stories from this...
Adjunct probiotic therapy has the potential to decrease Clostridium difficile disease incidence and severity. After screening several potential probiotic bacteria for intrinsic resistance to...
DATE: May 22, 2017TIME: 8:00AM PDT, 11:00AM ETCrohn's disease (CD) results from a complex interplay between host genetic factors and endogenous microbial communities. In the current...
With the exception of the Microbiome Quality Control (MBQC), very little has been published on best practices and reference standards for microbiome and metagenomic studies. As evidenced by r...
In spite of the huge potential impact of microbiome science, current measurement capabilities are insufficient, particularly for translating discoveries and correlations observed in the lab i...
This presentation will be demonstrating several different approaches to explore the diversity, function, and ecology of microbial communities. In Metagenomics, the sequencing of DNA dir...
The global trend towards industrialization and urbanization has led to ever more people living and working indoors. Some studies estimate that humans in industrialized countries spend as much...
Oxford Nanopore’s MinION is a small sensing device which can sequence DNA and RNA directly, without the need to perform an enzymatic synthesis reaction. The device is portable and is po...
Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have helped to accelerate the pace of discovery in the field of genetic disease research and testing. The ability to analyze multiple genes...
Consumer, Household, and Industrial (CH&I) formulations have increasingly driven towards more environmentally acceptable ingredients within water-based formulations, microbial control str...
Biofilm is an ancient and preferred mode of growth for microbes with 99% of all microbes residing in a biofilm. Biofilm is characterized by a community of microbes (usually polymicrobial ofte...
The world–as microbes perceive it–is composed of physical and chemical stimuli. These stimuli create conditions that result in life or death for microbes, affecting their survival...
Advances in sequencing technology and increasing recognition of the importance of our microbial world have led to unprecedented discoveries in recent years with respect to the human microbiom...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human. For most of our lives, we share our bodies with some ten ti...
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...
Biofilms, are defined as communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-generated matrix of exopolysaccharides and adhered to an inert surface or a live tissue. They are formed 95...
