Disa will work on the genomic exploration of «microbial dark matter», focusing on
new archaeal lineages and viruses, using both lab - and bioionformatics - based approaches.
By using new methods to obtain genome data from microbes that can not be grown in the laboratory, we identified
a new archaeal group that is related to the host cell from which eukaryotic cells evolved.

In this Review, we provide an overview of the currently recognized
archaeal diversity, summarize
new findings on the metabolic potential of recently described
archaeal lineages, and discuss these data in light of
archaeal evolution.
Using heavy - duty computers to sift through this mess, the team ultimately reconstructed 7280 bacterial and 623
archaeal genomes — about a third of which were
new to science.
Currently, we are exploring several environmental samples retrieved from allover the world - ranging from hydrothermal vents in Japan to hot springs in Yellowstone National Park and
New Zealand — for the presence of novel
archaeal (and bacterial) lineages using cultivation - independent approaches, such as metagenomics and single cell genomics.
