[HTML] Reconstructing Viral Genomes from the Environment Using Fosmid Clones: The Case of Haloviruses

I Garcia-Heredia, AB Martin-Cuadrado, FJM Mojica… – PLoS ONE, 2012
… Metagenomics provide a way to bypass the difficulty of obtaining genomic information about

microbes that are hard to retrieve in pure culture, and sequencing the metaviriome should help
in complementing the genomic information provided by the metagenome [5], [6], [7], [8], [9 …

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis
