Abstract

PLoS Computational Biology Conference Postcard from PSB 2011

Highlights

  • Microbial ecology, the relatively young and flourishing juncture of ecology and microbiology, had its own session at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2011 for the first time: ‘‘Microbiome Studies: Understanding How the Dominant Form of Life Affects Us’’

  • Murat Eren, a PhD student at the University of New Orleans, in which he discusses a software package designed for use in microbial ecology research

  • To address one of the major requisites of microbial ecology, biologists need more sophisticated and still computationally efficient quantitative approaches that can provide better accuracy on long-tailed microbial samples to estimate the diversity of their originating community
