I gave a talk last week at the Infectious Disease Research Network Microbial Profiling meeting at the Wellcome Trust in London. The whole meeting focused mainly on next-generation sequencing of microbial communities (which is what I’m doing at the moment at Imperial with a little GS Junior - when it feels like it), with great talks from the likes of Chris Quince and Nick Loman.
I spoke in the ‘there are things other than sequencing’ session (including Bill Keevil on FISH - I miss talks about FISH, it was lovely to see it again) about my previous work at UCSF with the 16S rRNA PhyloChip, trying to give a balanced view of the technology and how it compares with sequencing. The rest of the talks, should be available at the IDRN website shortly, but here is mine in the meantime.
