EASTBIO Computational and experimental approaches to investigate mobile genetic elements in microbial ecosystem stability, diversity and evolution

University of St Andrews
School of Chemistry
  Research Group: John Mitchell
Standard biodiversity theory often fails to match observed behaviour in microbial ecosystems; this is partly because theory is typically implicitly or explicitly based on macroorganisms, but microbes have unique features that mean their evolution and diversity may be fundamentally different.
