 Linking community structure and function through ecological genomics in polar and
hydrothermal vent ecosystems(March 18, 2005) Dr. Alison Murray of the Desert Research Institute will discuss her efforts to use biotechnology and genomics to understand the biodiversity, biogeochemical activities, and unique adaptations of microorganisms to their environments. A major goal of her research is to develop environmental genomics technologies for studying gene expression in organisms sampled directly from the environment, thereby circumventing the need for cultivation. |
