Metagenomics of the Global Virome
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on the planet. Despite their great abundance, <1% of the viruses in the world have been characterized. We have invented a number of metagenomics and bioinformatics methods to determine viral diversity in all of the world's major biomes, including humans.

Role of Microbes in Coral Reef Health
Microbes are normally associated with reef-building corals. We have shown that these microbes play vital roles in the life and death of coral reefs.
