Genome Sequence Analysis of Chlamydia trachomatis Mopn_tet_14 Anjali Menon Rockey Lab Dryden Hall, OSU
Objectives Part 1 • Grow and amplify mopn_tet_14 • Send to the Illumina machine for sequencing
Objectives Part 2 • Align gene sequences using MUSCLE, a multiple sequence alignment algorithm • Use Perl programming language to create a comparative database for known chlamydial genomes
Methods and Materials • Glycerol stock of mopn_tet_14 • PCR • DNA Gels • Illumina Sequencing • Perl and VIM programming languages to create database for comparative analysis
Summary • Grew and amplified mopn_tet_14 • Sequenced, identified regions of uncertainty • Designed primers to cut individual regions • Confirmed mopn_tet_14 sequence • Used MUSCLE to align gene sequences • Started using Perl and VIM to organize sequences, and ultimately, to create a comparative database for completed chlamydial genomes
