The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Marine Microbial Genome Sequencing Project

Overview

With funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the J. Craig Venter Institute is sequenced, assembled, and auto-annotated the genomes of 177 marine microbes. The microbes were contributed by 79 collaborators worldwide, and were chosen to cover the major marine taxa. These organisms embody an array of physiological diversity including: carbon fixers, photoautotrophs, photoheterotrophs, nitrifiers, and methanotrophs.

Data were deposited into the public domain and made available through GenBank and CAMERA.
