Figuring Out Function in Microbial Communities
Curtis Huttenhower - Professor, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Video Summary
Dr. Curtis Huttenhower shares insights from their academic journey in yeast computational genomics, focusing on the unannotated portions of the yeast genome and the dark matter of microbial communities. They discuss challenges in gene annotation from the human microbiome project and advancements in mapping microbiomes. The content also covers the diversity of the virome, particularly in relation to IBD, and highlights the microbiome center's ongoing research and community engagement efforts.
