Thermotoga 2007 Workshop Proceedings Now Available in Streaming Video

San Diego, CA, July 17, 2007 -- In recent years, large-scale genomics and structural genomics projects, as well as individual research groups, have created an extraordinary wealth of data on  Thermotoga maritima,  a unique model organism. Much of the research was on display July 9-10 at Thermotoga 2007, a two-day interdisciplinary workshop at the UCSD Division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2).

The event was organized by the Joint Center for Structural Genomics (JCSG), which brings together researchers from The Scripps Research Institute, Genomic Research Foundation, Stanford University, Burnham Institute for Medical Research and UC San Diego. JCSG has focused on high-throughput structural genomics of T. maritima and solved structures of 160 proteins from this organism. As part of this effort, the Calit2-based JCSG cloned, expressed and purified almost all soluble proteins of T. maritima.

Most of the workshop presentations are now available below for on-demand viewing as streaming video (Real player and broadband connection required).
