Sequencing All of Microbial Life: Challenges and Opportunities Rob Edwards Argonne National Laboratory San Diego State University
How much has been sequenced 100 bacterial genomes Environmental sequencing Number of known sequences First bacterial genome 1,000 bacterial genomes Year
How much will be sequenced Everybody in North America Everybody in Toronto One genome from every species 100 people Most major microbial environments All cultured Bacteria
Rank Abundance Curves, Papers vs Genomes • Microbial publications vs Genomes by Family
There are big gaps in sequence space • 6,400 total taxa • About 380 are human, animal or plant pathogens • 360 complete prokaryotic genomes published • 56 archaeal and 940 bacterial genomes in progress • ~400 are pathogens • Approximately ~5,000 prokaroytes not yet in play • We estimate about 4,800 non-pathogen taxa

Technical Feasibility FAQ • How many genomes would the project propose to sequence? • About 5000 • Who would produce the biomass needed for DNA extraction? • Type culture centers • Will the biomass/DNA be available for distribution? • Yes, both the DNA and the libraries could be stored for distribution • What throughput is needed for DNA production? • In the beginning of the project ~300 taxa per year to 2000 per yr at the end • What throughput is needed for sequencing? • 1.2 Gb/yr to 8 Gb/yr finished sequence • What combinations of sequencing technologies need to be employed? • Sanger and Pyrosequencinginitially • What throughput is needed for annotation? • 24 hour turnaround from assembled sequence to initial availability • Is is possible to have a standard set of phenotype assays given the broad spectrum of organisms and conditions? • We are considering Biolog as a model, but it is too limited • How would the genomes be selected and prioritized? • At each cycle we choose genomes (e.g. via 16s) to minimize the diversity gaps • Is it necessary to “close” the genomes? • We think no.
