Characterizing Novel Bacteria
Sequencing environmental bacterial samples to find novel metabolic pathways
Sequencing environmental bacterial samples to find novel metabolic pathways
Characterizing Novel Bacteria, led by member Mohammad Alavi, collects environmental bacterial samples, extracts and sequences their genomes, and analyzes them with tools like BLAST to identify novel metabolic pathways — open-ended exploratory work expanding the available biological toolkit, continuing from Alavi’s prior work at IMET.
