SEQanswers - Hello from CU Boulder

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gaddy, and I am a second-year PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder, in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EBIO). I am in the Fierer Lab, and in the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science (CIRES). We study soil microbial communities, and plant and animal microbiomes, which is where I come in. My research is on the bison gut microbiome, which is why I chose the handle "Tatanka." :)

In our lab, we use 454 GS-FLX and Illumina HiSeq pyrosequencing. We also use the QIIME data pipeline to analyze the data we receive from these methods.

I wanted to join this forum to learn more about bioinformatics, and to meet others in my field. Looking forward to getting to know folks here and what they do soon.
