Kiley has been busy extracting DNA from some really interesting sediments samples from the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California. We have submitted them for metagenomic sequencing, so we should be reconstructing some novel “hot-seep” bacteria and ANME archaea in the next few weeks!

We use culture independent techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) to understand the ecology and evolution of microbial communities.
