Recent developments in the field of metagenomics and single - cell genomics, however, have allowed the reconstruction of archaeal genomes directly from environmental samples without prior cultivation. (science.sciencemag.org)
Although environmental surveys had started to reveal a plethora of uncultured archaeal lineages during the 1990s, in - depth knowledge about their diversity, ecology, and evolution remained limited. (science.sciencemag.org)
As a member of the consortium, I'm focusing my studies towards developing imaging - based tools to observe the cell cycle of the archaea H. salinarum as a proof - of - concept for live - cell imaging in archaeal model organisms. (evocyt.com)
