Purpose
This grant to San Diego State University supports research in the laboratory of Dr. Rohwer into the genomics and evolutionary relationships of viruses. The work includes the sequencing of viral metagenomes from environmental samples. Outcomes for this grant include completion of 25 to 50 viral metagenomes sequences, discovery of common viral ancestor and creation of viral metabolomes to serve as the metabolic "fingerprints" of viral communities, and construction of online genome analysis tools.
