Reynoso Task Force Update

Dear UC Davis Community,

The task force looking into last November’s pepper-spray incident has made tentative arrangements to share its findings at a campus forum this Wednesday, April 11 at 3:30 pm in Freeborn Hall.

Plans for Wednesday’s public meeting will be confirmed after a hearing Tuesday morning in Alameda County Superior Court, at which a judge is expected to approve an agreement allowing the task force report to be released.

More information is available in this announcement from the UC Office of the President: http://news.ucdavis.edu/download/201204/Task_force_announcement_4.9.12.pdf

Updated information will be provided as it becomes available.

[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
