SUMMARY:Chasing the bacteria in the river Cam with real-time DNA sequencin
 g: Results of the PuntSeq study - Dr Lara Urban\, Wolfson College.

CONTACT:Dr Antonio M. M. Rodrigues
DESCRIPTION:Year by year\, Cambridge rowers\, swimmers and punters experie
 nce serious infections associated with pathogens from the city's local riv
 er\, the Cam. An information and research framework that targets the invol
 ved bacterial culprits is still lacking. The PuntSeq project (puntseq.co.u
 k) provides an in-depth resolution of the Cam's bacterial and pathogenic l
 andscape by applying novel portable and real-time sequencing approaches to
  DNA extracted from the river's water. In my talk\, I will firstly introdu
 ce the technical details behind the project\, to then present our results 
 from a study based on water samples from ten locations (ranging from Grant
 chester Meadow via Bridge of Sighs to the Baits Bite Lock) and three time 
 points (April\, June and August 2018).\n
