Our group is trying to fill that gap by doing genomic exploration of microbial dark matter. (ettemalab.org)
«Extreme environments generally contain a lot of unknown microorganisms, which we refer to as microbial dark matter,» says Jimmy Saw, researcher at Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Uppsala University, and co-lead author of the paper. (sciencedaily.com)
By exploring microbial dark matter with new genomics techniques, Thijs Ettema and his team hope to find more clues about how complex cells evolved. (sciencedaily.com)
