Jeffrey Blanchard's lab just got a new project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network.
The Ecological Metagenome-derived Reference Genomes and Traits (EMERGENT) synthesis project connects genomic information about the soil microbiome with the broader ecological context.
The illustration seen here was made by 2 UMass undergraduates Andrea Dame (Microbiology) and Eva Tipps (Biology).
