Research

Dr. Meyer current work focuses on the analysis of shotgun metagenomics data sets and on the MG-RAST community portal for metagenomics. Shotgun metagenomics is benefitting directly from the current advances in sequencing technology, leading to dramatic growth in the number scientists using this approach and the number and size of the data sets being produced. He also has an interest in microbial genomics and the analysis of complete microbial genomes and is a member of the RAST project.
