STAMPS complete!

Was a privilege to attend the Strategies and Techniques for Analyzing Microbial Population Structures (STAMPS) course this week learning from leaders in the field on cutting edge bioinformatics tools. The computational and professional skills I gained this week make me feel more prepared to tackle the data analysis phase of this project. It was also amazing to network with other people in this field and learn along side them. Thank you to the experiment.com backers for providing the financial support that made this endeavor possible!

About This Project

Yellow tang are vital to Hawaii’s reef ecosystems, but wild populations have been drastically declining due to the aquarium trade. Aquaculture is a sustainable alternative to removing fish from the wild, but only a fraction of cultured yellow tang survive to adulthood. We suspect investigating the microbiome will provide key insights to this problem. Our goal is to increase the success of the Oceanic Institute's aquaculture program and reduce impact on wild yellow tang populations.
