Understanding Bacterial Genomes

I'm going to talk about my research which is very broadly themed around understanding bacterial genomes. This started with using functional genomics approaches to investigate biological nitrogen fixation. Then has transitioned into trying to understand the evolutionary processes that drive antibiotic resistance in populations of pathogenic bacteria.
