Increasing Genome Information (Part One): Natural Competence A brief description of the mechanism by which bacteria incorporate naked DNA found in the environment into their genomes. In doing so, they can potentially increase the amount of genetic information carried by the organism. This video is made to address creationists' criticism of the Theory of Evolu
Virtual Poster: Hybrid Assembly of Novel Bacterial Genomes Ali Bashir, PhD, from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine presents two approaches to characterizing novel bacterial genomes using hybrid assemblies. The scaffold method, used on the cholera strain in the 2010 Haiti outbreak, adds PacBio long and strobe reads to resolve complex repeats and finish asse
Special Lecture PhD Luis Serrano - Systems biology analysis of a small bacterium Systems biology analysis of a small bacterium: lessons in humility Acquiring and integrating large-scale, quantitative biological data is a common feature of Systems Biology studies. However, integrating these diverse data and providing additional functional understanding on how cells work and how c
