Scientist Reveals Secret of the Ocean: It's Him
By NICHOLAS WADE
Published: April 1, 2007

Maverick scientist J. Craig Venter has done it again. It was just a few years SINGLE-PAGE
ago that Dr. Venter announced that the human genome sequenced by Celera
SAVE
Genomics was in fact, mostly his own. And now, Venter has revealed a second
SHARE
twist in his genomic self-examination. Venter was discussing his Global
SHARE
Ocean Voyage, in which he used his personal yacht to collect ocean water
samples from around the world. He then used large filtration units to collect How good is your bracket? Compare your tournament picks

microbes from the water samples which were then brought back to his high desk and other players.

latest attack on the standards of science – some of the samples were in fact not from the ocean, but
were from microbial habitats in and on his body.
“The human microbiome is the next frontier,” Dr. Venter said. “The ocean voyage was just a cover.
My main goal has always been to work on the microbes that live in and on people. And now that my
genome is nearly complete, why not use myself as the model for human microbiome studies as well.
”
It is certainly true that in the last few years, the microbes that live in and on people have become a
hot research topic. So hot that the same people who were involved in the race to sequence the human

7. Simpler Description
• How do new functions originate in
microbes?
• How do these processes vary both within
and between species?
• What are the effects of this variation in
evolvability on biology, ecology, etc?
9. Wolbachia pipientis wMel
• Wolbachia are obligate, maternally
transmitted intracellular symbionts
• Wolbachia infect many invertebrate
species
– Many cause male specific deleterious
effects
– Model system for studying sex ratio
changes in hosts
– Some are mutualistic (e.g., in filarial
nematodes)
• wMel selected as model system because
it infects Drosophila melanogaster
12. Glassy Winged Sharpshooter
• Obligate xylem feeder
• Can transmit Pierce’s
Disease agent
• Potential bioterror agent
• Needs to get amino-
acids and other nutrients
from symbionts like
aphids

16. Evolution and Genome Processing
• Probably exists as a defense mechanism
• Analogous to RIPPING and
heterochromatin silencing
• Presence of repetitive DNA in MAC but
not TEs suggests the mechanism involves
targeting foreign DNA
• Thus unlike RIPPING ciliate processing
does not limit diversification by duplication

• Identify major branches in rRNA tree for
which no genomes are available
• Identify those with a cultured representative in
DSMZ

• Sequence and finish 100+ (covering breadth of
bacterial/archaea diversity)
• Annotate, analyze, release data
• Assess benefits of tree guided sequencing

• Of the 17000 protein families in the GEBA56, 1800
are novel in sequence (Wu)
• Structural modeling suggests many are structurally
novel too (D'haeseleer)
• 372 being crystallized by the PSI (Kerfeld)

• Key step in genome projects
• More accurate predictions help guide
experimental and computational analyses
• Many diverse approaches
• All improved both by “phylogenomic” type
analyses that integrate evolutionary
reconstructions and understanding of how
new functions evolve
72. Most/All Functional Prediction Improves
w/ Better Phylogenetic Sampling
• Took 56 GEBA genomes and compared results vs. 56
randomly sampled new genomes
• Better definition of protein family sequence “patterns”
• Greatly improves “comparative” and “evolutionary”
based predictions
• Conversion of hypothetical into conserved hypotheticals
• Linking distantly related members of protein families
• Improved non-homology prediction

This is a tree of a rRNA gene that was found on a large DNA fragment isolated from the Monterey Bay. This rRNA gene groups in a tree with genes from members of the gamma Proteobacteria a group that includes E. coli as well as many environmental bacteria. This rRNA phylotype has been found to be a dominant species in many ocean ecosystems.\n

Phylogenetic analysis of rRNAs led to the discovery of archaea\n
Extension of rRNA analysis to uncultured organisms using PCR\n
This is a tree of a rRNA gene that was found on a large DNA fragment isolated from the Monterey Bay. This rRNA gene groups in a tree with genes from members of the gamma Proteobacteria a group that includes E. coli as well as many environmental bacteria. This rRNA phylotype has been found to be a dominant species in many ocean ecosystems.\n\n clone from the Sargasso Sea. This shows that this \n
