Atopobium vaginae Genome Project. A major milestone in the Atopobium vaginae Genome Project has been reached. The first phase
of the shotgun sequencing of the A. vaginae genome has
been completed. We have made the sequence reads public on
an overnight basis. These A. vaginae reads are available
on this website.

Exploiting the natural synergism between biology and technology
Our center develops new technologies to address important biological
questions that otherwise would not be feasible. Our successes can
involve improvements to existing technologies or completely new
inventions, both of which aim to increase speed and accuracy while
decreasing cost. In turn, once a new technology has been developed or
advanced, it can often drive the perception of what is possible in
the realm of experimental biology. Historically, this synergism
between biology and technology has thrived at SGTC as applied to
yeast functional genomics and large-scale sequencing efforts. In the
next phase of our evolution we will use yeast as the test-bed of
advanced technologies to enable novel solutions to the greatest
challenges facing human health.
