[DUSELScience] Soudan Microbiology Publication

[Dean Peterson]

Dear All,
A new paper has been published in BMC Genomics on microbial ecology on the 
27th Level (same level as the MINOS detector) of the Soudan Mine.  This 
paper describes the use of pyrosequencing, a rapid and relatively 
inexpensive sequencing technology, to generate environmental genome 
sequences, and may be a valuable technique to apply to geomicrobiological 
research at the remaining DUSEL candidate sites.


The paper is available online at

scroll down until you see "Latest articles published in BMC Genomics"

The citation is

Using pyrosequencing to shed light on deep mine microbial ecology under 
extreme hydrogeologic conditions.
