Bottlenecks for metagenomic analysis. I just came back from a week at Iowa State University with Kirsten Hofmockel. And her fantastic group. Team Hofmockel is interested in studying soil microbial communities in bioenergy crop systems (something I know a little bit about from Jim Tiedje. And C Titus Brown). We’re combining a nice experiment that involves lots of useful biogeochemistry measurements with deep metagenomic sequencing (oh yeah). Throw in the support of the DOE KBase. In a recent great read.

Thoughts on soil metagenomic analysis with IPython and KBase
http://adina.github.io/2013/03/08/speedy-science
Thoughts on soil metagenomic analysis with IPython and KBase. One of my first tasks as a new postdoc at my new gig was to be the bridge for a soil metagenomics project between Kirsten Hofmockel’s. Sequencing generation team at Iowa State University and the tool development MG-RAST. Team at ANL. Given two months to extract, sequence, and analyze the complex diversity of soil aggregates, my role was to integrate KBase tools and to enable Team Hofmockel to deliver results at the DOE Grantee’s meeting. And t...
