  Mapping medieval Chester

  http://www.medievalchester.ac.uk/

  The Mapping Medieval Chester project brings together a team including literary specialists, historical geographers and digital humanities specialists to explore space, place and identity in medieval Chester. The project asks questions about Chester as a city on the often troubled border between England and Wales, and about how different medieval inhabitants imagined and represented the urban space around them. A key aspect of the project is to integrate geographical and literary mappings of the medieval city using cartographic and textual sources and using these to understand more how urban landscapes in the Middle Ages were interpreted and navigated by local inhabitants. One particularly innovative dimension of this is the projects use of information technologies both as a means of exploring these mappings of medieval Chester, for example through the use and development of a Geographical Information System GIS to create a map of Chester as it was c.1500, and as a means of widening access and public interest in Chesters medieval past and in medieval urban studies generally by linking literary and cartographic sources in digital media.GIS shape files and the TEI-XML encoded textual editions can all be downloaded in raw form from the website allowing individuals to carry out their own further analyses and research.

  This site provides a poster on metagenomics that can be downloaded freely in PDF (requires free-to-download Adobe Acrobat Reader). Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of communities of microorganisms, regardless of whether they can currently be cultured. The poster, produced by the journal 'Nature Reviews Microbiology' and entitled 'Metagenomics: window to the microbial universe', was written in 2008 by Anne Jurkowski of the National Research Council and Jo Handelsman of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It highlights the importance of metagenomics across a range of disciplines such as medicine, earth sciences, agriculture and biotechnology, and provides an illustrated overview of the metagenomics process. Made available freely with support from the US National Academies and the US National Science Foundation. Added: 2009-10-29
