DESCRIPTION:The ability to perform metagenomic techniques on samples colle
 cted from novel sample types demands high performance reagents and techniq
 ues not commonly used in most labs today..\nhttps://broward.libnet.info/ev

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The Extreme Microbiome Project was establi
 shed in 2015 to develop novel sampling and DNA sequencing protocols for bo
 th routine samples as well as the most difficult. Samples have been collec
 ted and sequenced from around the world including\, soil\, sea and fresh w
 ater\, air\, deep ocean\, thermophilic\, halophilic\, acidic\, and alkalin
 e ecosystems from locations such as Greenland\, Antarctica\, the Red Sea\,
  Romanian sulfur caves\, and the International Space Station. Techniques i
 ncluding novel concentrating devices\, high performance lysis enzymes\,â
 €¯ultra-low biomass handling\, biofilm disrupting\, and working with hi
 gh host background from eukaryotic organisms have all been applied.&nbsp\;
  In all cases\, DNA\, RNA\, and PCR amplicon sequencing are performed usin
 g a combination of short and long-read technologies including&nbsp\; llumi
 na\, Singular G4\, and Oxford Nanopore Technologies for characterizing&nbs
 p\; functional and taxonomic features as well as MAG assembly of dark matt

 irector of the University of Vermont Genomics Facility and has expertise i
 n all areas of genomics and microbiology including next generation sequenc
