Microbiology could be defined as the study of organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. However, the recent discovery of bacteria of over 1 mm in size has made this definition somewhat inaccurate and in the grand tradition of science, a new definition is in order. We will consider microbiology to be the study of organisms that can exist as single cells or entities containing a nucleic acid genome for at least some part of their life cycle and are capable of replicating that genome.

Its missions include a range of such difficult challenges as environmental-waste cleanup, energy production, carbon sequestration, and biotechnology. To aid in carrying out its missions, DOE initiated the Microbial Genome Program (MGP) Sat, 11 Jun 2005 13:17:22 -0700 http://biosphere.biologydaily.com/help/node/5340 Understand the basic statistical calculations common to the study of population genetics, that provide the basis for evaluating individual and population genetic variability.

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 13:03:47 -0700 http://biosphere.biologydaily.com/help/node/5344 Today, scientists have in hand the complete DNA sequences of genomes for many organisms—from microbes to plants to humans. The U.S. Department of Energy's Genomics:GTL program will use the new genomic data and high-throughput technologies for studying the proteins encoded by the genome to explore the amazingly diverse natural capabilities in microbes.
