Metagenomics is a technique that enables us to look at parts of the biosphere that were masked to us. With present estimates suggesting that ~98% of the microorganisms are not amenable to growth under lab conditions, metagenomics is helping us to understand the role of microorganisms in different environments.

Two metagenomic discoveries of light harvesting by microorganisms will be...

Since many years imaging methods on all length scales and their development are dominating the progress in life sciences. Atomic structure and dynamics link mechanism, phenotype and diseases to a mechanistic chemical explanation. Only if you reach this level, rational intervention, like needed in drug discovery, is possible. There is an ever increasing need for correlative multi-scale analysis...
