10:00 - 11:00 Seminar Experimental design for evolving industrially relevant microbes School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Abstract: Evolution is a very promiscuous process. How such a process can be tamed for developing industrially relevant microbes? How can we study thousands of evolution trajectories and pick the desirable mutants? What are the key game changers in designing evolution experiments? The above questions will be discussed in an interactive session. At the end, a novel highthroughput screening platform will be introduced. Scan-o-matic is an automated microbial phenomics framework that delivers accurate, precise and highly resolved growth phenotypes at an unprecedented scale. The prototype arrangement automatically records and analyze ... |
