$99,722Benefits:
The proposed conceptual framework and computational approaches for constructing molecular ecological networks (MENs) will be developed through the Phase I support, which is not only critical for addressing the objectives outlined in this study, (developing a comprehensive computational software package for analyzing network interactions of microbial communities proposed in the Phase II study), but also important for the study of microbial ecology in general. The developed novel network approach will allow microbiologists to address fundamental questions which could not be approached previously. In addition, the development of RMT-based network approach will enhance the uniqueness of GeoChip technologies, such as GeoChip data analysis and interpretation, and hence further promote the commercialization of GeoChip-based technologies.
