Important discoveries from analysing bacterial phenotypes

MicroMeeting Important discoveries from analysing bacterial phenotypes

The ability to test hundreds to thousands of cellular phenotypes in a single experiment has opened up new avenues of investigation and exploration and led to important discoveries in very diverse applications of microbiological research and development. The information provided by global phenotyping is complementary to, and often more easily interpretable than information provided by global mol...

Discoveries in bacterial nucleotide metabolism.

Mydecision to become a biochemist has its roots in youthful indecision. I grew up on a dairy farm in northwestern Illinois surrounded by domestic and wild animal and plant life and came to love the world of biology. This interest was strongly encouraged by my mother, who had been an excellent student of biology in college but was thwarted by the Great Depression and her family’s poverty from pu...

Controlling False Discoveries in Mapping Multiple Phenotypes

The genetic basis of multiple phenotypes such as gene expression, metabolite levels, or imaging features is often investigated by testing a large collection of hypotheses, probing the existence of association between each of the traits and hundred of thousands of genotyped variants. Appropriate multiplicity adjustment is crucial to guarantee replicability of findings, and False Discovery Rate (...
