Join us at 2:00pm on Sept. 28th at the Next-Generation Sequencing conference in Providence, RI when Dr. Scot Dowd will be presenting:
Deciphering Microbial Diversity in Complex Environments -A Case Study
Scot E. Dowd Ph.D., Director, Research and Testing Laboratory, Director, Pathogenius Diagnostics
Determining the microbial diversity and composition of complex environments has been advanced greatly by next generation pyrosequencing approaches. There are several important tools for estimating microbial diversity. These often involve complex workflows of multiple alignments, distance matrices, and modeling. Here we provide an interesting approach to evaluating the diversity and evenness of environments using DNASTAR's SeqMan NGen assembler as an example of the flexibility of this sequence assembly engine.
