This workshop will better prepare researchers to tap into the JGI’s capabilities residing in the Prokaryotic Super Program. The session will include presentations about the Microbial and Metagenome Programs as well as the Informatics and Data Science resources available. Discussions will include current research, scientific vision and future technological advances. We aim for this to be a highly interactive session, including a brief tutorial of Integrated Microbial Genomes & Microbiomes (IMG/M). We welcome comments and questions about existing technologies, as well as suggestions for new user capabilities that JGI should explore in the future.
