Supported by the Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dr. Yan Qingyun from Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB), Chinese Academy of Sciences visited Institute for Environmental Genomics (IEG), University of Oklahoma for one year (August 29, 2014 - August 30, 2015). During his visit, Dr. Yan cooperated with Prof. Zhou Jizhong (Director of IEG) on metagenomic study of bacterioplankton community and fish gut microbiota by using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, functional GeoChip analysis and metagenomic shotgun sequencing.

Dr. Yan Qingyun studied the assembly mechanism governing bacterioplankton community and the functional genes in several important ecosystems such as Three-Gorges Reservoir and Station ALOHA in the North Pacific Ocean. These studies provide a comparative metagenomic insight for evaluating the responses of microbial function to the large dam and addressed the phylogenetic assembly and turnover of ocean bacterioplankton communities. During his cooperative study at IEG, Dr. Yan was also invited to attend the 115^th General Meeting of American Society for Microbiology (ASM 2015) at New Orleans, Louisiana (May 30 - June 2, 2015) and gave a presentation entitled “Environmental Filtering Decreases with fish Development and Trophic Level for Assembling Gut Microbiota”.
