DESCRIPTION:Nikos C. Kyrpides\, Ph.D.\, DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI)\,
  Walnut Creek\, CA (USA)\nBIOENGINEERING SEMINAR\n\nAbstract:\nMicrobiolog
 y is experiencing a revolution brought on by recent developments in sequen
 cing technology. The unprecedented volume of microbiome data being generat
 ed pose significant challenges with respect to analysis and management str
 ategies. But they also bear great new opportunities that are rapidly trans
 itioning Microbiology from product-based to data.\nMicrobiome Data Science
  is currently advancing our understanding of the structure and function of
  entire microbial communities\, expanding our knowledge of genetic and fun
 ctional diversity of individual micro-organisms and fuel data-based discov
 eries.\nI will describe some of our computational approaches and will emph
 asize the value of data integration in enabling the exploration of large m
 etagenomic datasets and the discovery of novelty. I will discuss current a
 pproaches and success stories for the discovery of novel phylogenetic line
 ages as well as the exploration of the viral dark matter.\n\nBio:\nDr. Kyr
 pides joined the DOE Joint Genome Institute in 2004 to lead the Genome Bio
 logy Program and the development of the data management and comparative an
 alysis platforms for microbial genomes and metagenomes (IMG). He became th
 e Metagenomics Program head in 2010 and leads the Prokaryotic Super Progr
 am and the Microbiome Data Science Group since 2011. Prior to joining the
  DOE Joint Genome Institute\, Dr. Kyrpides led the development of the geno
 me analysis and Bioinformatics core at Integrated Genomics Inc. in Chicago
 \, IL. He did his postdoctoral studies with Carl Woese at the University o
 f Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and with Ross Overbeek at the Argonne Natio
 nal Laboratory.
