High throughput sequencing to study soil biodiversity

Fellowship Code: 
ER1
Host: 
Copenhagen University
Supervisor: 
Prof. Søren J. Sørensen

ER1 will develop standardized protocols for soil sampling and isolation of DNA and mRNA, and will develop standardized protocols for sequencing of DNA and cDNA using pyrosequencing and Illumina technologies. ER1 will establish quantitative molecular tools for analysis of specific bioindicators using Q-PCR.

Research Objectives: 

To develop standardized protocols for analysis of soil biodiversity.
