Project presentation:
Comparative genomic stratigraphy – Phase I: pilot project to test the feasibility of applying metagenomic methodologies for comparative stratigraphic studies.
The project tested the viability of a highly efficient methodology for comparative genomic analyzes of microbiota sampled in different geological units, enabling the use of this type of information for high resolution stratigraphic correlation in areas of interest.
