Gene W. Tyson studies microbial communities using genomics-based methods, covering topics from methane-cycling microbes in environments like wetlands and rumen, to the human gut microbiome and its links to diseases such as ulcerative colitis, preeclampsia, and autism. This work combines environmental microbiology with applications in clinical diagnostics and coral reef health, using techniques like metagenomics (sequencing all DNA in a sample) and single-cell genomics.
