A New Kind of Genomics, With an Eye on Ecosystems
[requires 'free' registration]
"Determining the complete DNA sequence of a single species has become almost commonplace. It has been done for humans, mice, rice plants and a host of microbes, among others. Now some scientists are moving to a more audacious challenge, sequencing "metagenomes," the DNA of entire ecosystems."
""We think this is a window on biology that is really unprecedented in its implications," said Dr. Jo Handelsman, a professor of plant pathology at the University of Wisconsin, who coined the term metagenomics to refer to the new field. Others call it community genomics, environmental genomics, or microbial population genomics."
[ rhetoric ]
“Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.”
