SUMMARY:Making sense of sewage: a multi-omics approach - Dr James Chong\, 
 University of York

DESCRIPTION:Resource recovery from wastewater increasingly relies on the a
 ctions of a complex community of anaerobic microbes. My group is identifyi
 ng routes for the optimisation of biogas production from organic waste\, w
 ith the long-term goal of identifying means of\nmanipulating these communi
 ties at scale. We are mapping microbial community changes\nusing a variety
  of ‘omics approaches. In this seminar\, I will discuss how nanopore seq
 uencing and machine learning are enhancing our metagenomics analyses\, our
  initial foray into untargeted metabolomics and\, how high throughput grow
 th screens could be applied to microbial community optimisation.  \n
