Meeting in Göttingen

The MetaMine project had its second meeting in the beautiful town of Göttingen, Germany, 14. – 15.  February 2019.

We decided to have this meeting relatively early in order to be ahead in the preparations and planning regarding sampling of shipworms and metagenomic DNA purification & sequencing.

We all presented our results and discussed the path ahead. So far no major setbacks in the project. Ana-Maria Tanase is here presenting the results from the panel deployment in the Romanian Black Sea.

There was plenty of oppurtunity to exercise in the looong staircase.

 

After the interesting lab tour, the botanical garden on campus was really refreshing to walk through.
