microTALK panel - topic: Microbes @ Work
Event Rescheduled! - Monday June 4th, 11:00-12:00, QNC 1506
Patenting Life is a tricky situation. Graham McKinnon, co-founder of Carbon Patent Group, discusses stories of CRISPR IP and patenting life as well as 101 rejections for USPTO.
Mr. McKinnon’s specialty is drafting and prosecuting patents in the fields of chemistry, therapeutics, drug delivery, genomics, proteomics, protein chemistry and medical devices. He is currently involved in the patenting of CRISPR in Canada.
Presenter: Aneisha Collins-Fairclough will lead our discussion on "A virus or more in (nearly) every cell: ubiquitous networks of virus–host interactions in extreme environments", published in the ISMEJ this year.
Join host Prof Laura Hug for the Environmental Microbiology Journal club to discuss a recent paper of interest in microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, metagenomics, and emerging microbiology trends.
Presenter: Lee Bergstrand: "Metagenomes reveal global distribution of bacterial steroid catabolism in natural, engineered, and host environments"
Join host Prof Laura Hug for the Environmental Microbiology Journal club to discuss a recent paper of interest in microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, metagenomics, and emerging microbiology trends.

Paper: Exact sequence variants should replace operational taxonomic units in marker-gene data analysis
The Environmental Microbiology Journal club discusses a recent paper of interest pertaining to microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, metagenomics, and emerging microbiology on a biweekly basis. One person selects the article of interest and provides a brief overview of the main findings and implications of the work. A group discussion follows.
This week's paper from the ISME Journal: Multidisciplinary Journal of Microbial Ecology talks about next generation sequencing and metagenomics. Join host Prof Laura Hug to learn more!
