Focused Meeting 2018: Microbiomes Underpinning Agriculture aims to focus on the diverse roles played by microorganisms in agricultural systems, and on exploring what microbiome research can offer to agriculture. A particular emphasis will be placed on soil, plant and animal microbiomes, their interaction, and on cross-linking expertise across disciplines.
The conference will incorporate a methods workshop that will enable integration of skills and sharing of best practice across technical aspects of microbiome research, including sequencing and analysis/interpretation of data associated with complex microbial communities in agricultural systems. Leading experts in microbiome analysis will introduce novel technologies and give their perspectives on best practice in a series of invited talks and panel discussion.
