New directions in biology: Metagenomics and microbiology

About the research

Molecular biology is developing at a dizzying pace and suggests radical reinterpretations of some fundamental issues in our understanding of biology and life. This project aimed to make these developments more accessible to non-specialists and to explore some of their implications.
