Welcome note of the conference chair

Dear colleagues,

Tremendous progress has been made since high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies entered
the field of soil microbiology, and the scientific community involved in soil omics studies is con-
tinuously growing. With that development, there is also higher demand for guiding young scientists
into this exciting field providing them with the best analytical tools available but also with a critical
understanding of what can be achieved and which problems will require more research.

Continuing the legacy of the first three Thünen Symposia, we would like to provide the opportunity for
participants to learn about the latest progress at the intersection of microbial bioinformatics and soil
ecology. Focus points of the 4th Symposium include the spatial organisation of soil microbial com-
munities and to the study of neglected groups, i.e. soil viruses and protists. The workshop flanking
the symposium provides the opportunity to learn about techniques for metagenomic analyses and
beyond (transcriptomes and proteome).

We are looking forward to meeting you in Braunschweig,

Prof. Dr. Christoph C. Tebbe
