Explore groundbreaking discoveries in microbial evolution and metagenomics through this 29-minute webinar presented by Dr. Christopher E. Mason. Discover how RNA-sequencing (metatranscriptomics) and DNA-sequencing (metagenomics) are being used to study microbes across dozens of cities worldwide as part of the MetaSUB Consortium. Learn about innovative approaches using wastewater as a novel tracking method for urban microbes, examine new species discovered on the International Space Station, and review findings from the Inspiration4 mission. Gain insights into how computational and experimental methodologies are being applied to identify and characterize essential genetic elements, with particular focus on understanding microbial communities in diverse environments from subway systems to space stations.
