Automating Microbial Genome Sequence Decontamination

From left to right, several of the authors of the ProDeGe paper published in The ISME Journal: Nikos Kyrpides, Scott Clingenpeel, Kristin Tenessen, Tanja Woyke, Amrita Pati, and Evan Andersen.Single cell genomics and metagenomics are pioneering techniques that have helped researchers assess environmental microbial community structure and function. As projects applying these techniques scale up, however, researchers are hindered by the lack of a high-throughput process to review assembled genome sequences. Currently, sequence decontamination of the microbial genomes being uploaded to public databases is… [Read More]

Understanding the [Non-Coding] Spaces Between

The golden-brown surface mats that indicate a Trichodesmium erythaeum bloom have led to them being called “sea sawdust.” (Image by FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute via Flickr CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)DOE JGI researchers sequenced and analyzed a cyanobacterium with known nitrogen-fixing capabilities. The Science: Researchers sequenced and analyzed the uncommonly large genome of a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterial strain, comparing it to the more than 150 extant cyanobacterial genomes. The Impact: Unlike many of the existing cyanobacterial genome sequences, the genome of Trichodesmium erythaeum IMS 101 is… [Read More]
