Application Note - Microbial whole-genome sequencing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Next-generation whole genome sequencing of microbes demands rapid, robust, and scalable library construction workflows, capable of generating high-quality sequence data across a wide range of genome sizes, complexities and genomic GC content. In this Application Note, we describe a streamlined library preparation method that results in minimal bias, high uniform coverage, and facilitates de novo assembly of microbial genomes.

Bioinformatics for Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing of Microbial Communities
The application of whole-genome shotgun sequencing to microbial communities represents a major development in metagenomics, the study of uncultured microbes via the tools of modern genomic analysis. In the past year, whole-genome shotgun sequencing projects of prokaryotic communities from an acid mine biofilm, the Sargasso Sea, Minnesota farm soil, three deep-sea whale falls, and deep-sea sedim...
متن کاملEfficiency and Accuracy of Phylogenetic Trees for Large Sequence Datasets
Since the early 1990s, the number of sequences in the GenBank database has increased exponentially, and as of February 15, 2007 had reached more than 67 million sequences, with an average size of more than 1000 base pairs (NCBI 2007). This incredible explosion of data acquisition has been fueled by the application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to environmental samples and the in...
متن کاملHPMCD: the database of human microbial communities from metagenomic datasets and microbial reference genomes
The Human Pan-Microbe Communities (HPMC) database (http://www.hpmcd.org/) provides a manually curated, searchable, metagenomic resource to facilitate investigation of human gastrointestinal microbiota. Over the past decade, the application of metagenome sequencing to elucidate the microbial composition and functional capacity present in the human microbiome has revolutionized many concepts in o...
متن کاملSingle Cell Whole Genome Amplification of Uncultivated Organisms
Whole genome amplification of single cells is emerging as a powerful technique for accessing the genomes of individual members of microbial communities without the complication of identifying the source of sequence data posed by shotgun sequencing of environmental samples (metagenomics). This method holds particular promise for the molecular unveiling of uncultivated organisms that comprise the...
