Purpose
This grant will provide support to the Broad Institute to sequence and perform basic characterizations of marine phage and virus genomes and the genomic content of environmental marine virus assemblages. The marine phage and virus ecology research community at large will benefit from this sequencing and annotation pipeline that is expected to result in public access to approximately 200 novel viral genome sequences, 50 unique viral metagenomes, and numerous detailed environmental measurements that characterize the habitats from which the viruses and metagenomes were collected.
