Microbiome | Home page

Dear Prof CERASALE MORTEO, We are very pleased to announce that the open access journalMicrobiome has received its first Impact Factor of 9.000. As you know, the Impact Factor is just one measure used for evaluating a journal. Should you be interested in more information on the Impact Factor in general and alternative metrics, please click here. Read these influential articles and submit your next manuscript to the journal. Influential Articles COMMENTARY Being human is a gut feeling Hutter et al. Abstract   |  Full text   |  PDF METHODOLOGY A straightforward and efficient analytical pipeline for metaproteome characterization Tanca et al. Abstract   |  Full text   |  PDF Journal Scope The central purpose of Microbiome is to unite investigators conducting microbiome research in environmental, agricultural, and biomedical arenas. Topics broadly addressing the study of microbial communities, such as microbial surveys, bioinformatics, meta-omics approaches and community/host interaction modeling will be considered for publication. Through this collection of literature, Microbiome hopes to integrate researchers with common scientific objectives across a broad cross-section of sub-disciplines within microbial ecology. The Benefits of Publishing with Us • Publishes in all areas of microbiome research including human, animal, and environmental research • Expert Editorial Board • Widest possible global dissemination of your research Please forward this email and share the good news.

Featured collection: Microbiology of the Built Environment Guest edited by Jack A Gilbert and Brent Stephens Built Environments (BE) are the buildings, cities, and towns where we live and work. Over the last 80 years they have become our most intimate ecosystem. Yet our ignorance of this ecosystem is profound, despite its significant impact on humanity. By mapping the microbiome of our built environments we may track biothreats and diseases, develop sophisticated early warning systems, and understand how a changing climate and increasing population density will shape this world.

Norris Published on: 9 June 2016 View all articles Editor Profiles Jacques Ravel is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and the Associate Director for Genomics at the Institute for Genome Sciences, University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. His research program is focused on applying modern genomics technologies and ecological principles to characterize the role and dynamics of the microbial communities inhabiting the human body in health and disease and better define the interactions between the host, the microbes and the environment that drive these ecological systems. Dr Ravel received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Maryland College Park in Environmental Molecular Microbiology and Ecology and performed his postdoctoral work at the Johns Hopkins University in the Department of Chemistry. Before accepting his current position, Dr. Ravel was an Assistant Investigator at the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in Rockville, MD. Eric Wommack is a Professor of Environmental Microbiology in the Departments of Plant & Soil Sciences, Biological Sciences, and the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment at the University of Delaware. For most of his career Dr. Wommack has focused on research questions surrounding the role of viruses in microbial communities. He was among the first scientists to explore the ecology of viruses within soils using direct procedures that do not require isolation and cultivation of microorganisms, and has conducted research expeditions at deep sea hydrothermal vents at depths of up to two miles. Dr Wommack received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Maryland, College Park in Marine, Estuarine, Environmental Sciences and was a National Research Council post-doctoral fellow at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lab and the University of Georgia School of Marine Programs in Athens, Georgia.
