We use our expertise in computer science and microbiology to study the evolution and ecology of naturally occurring microbial populations through integrated 'omics and wet lab strategies.
We serve the community of microbiologists by creating advanced open-source software, by following open and reproducible science practices, and by engaging in public educational and outreach activities.
