Purpose
With this grant, the J. Craig Venter Institute is collaborating with the larger community of marine microbiology researchers to sequence the genomes of at least 155 marine microbes. The goal of this project is to greatly increase the number of whole genome sequences of ecologically relevant marine microorganisms, both to provide scaffolds for ongoing environmental metagenomic analyses and to foster ecogenomic comparative studies. Once genome sequences are completed, they are made publicly available through GenBank and CAMERA.
