The Fuhrman Group uses ‘omics data to better understand microbial growth, interactions, and biogeographies. Recent research has been focused on evaluating a promising new approach to simultaneously determine the growth rates of many different kinds of microbes from the within-genome distributions of DNA extracted from mixed populations. Fuhrman Lab postdoc Jesse McNichol elaborates on a pair of recent papers reporting their progress. Continue reading “In the Mix”

Using Metagenomics to Measure In-Situ Microbial Growth Rates
Growth rates are central to understanding microbial interactions and community dynamics. The Fuhrman Lab, which uses ‘omics data to seek a better understanding of microbial growth, interactions, and biogeographies has been evaluating a promising new approach to simultaneously determine the growth rates of many different kinds of microbes from the within-genome distributions of DNA extracted from in-situ (mixed) ocean populations.
