- The Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics Project: probing the evolution of symbiosis across the Tree of Life. McKenna, Victoria Archibald, John M Beinart, Roxanne Dawson, Michael N Hentschel, Ute Keeling, Patrick J Lopez, Jose V Martín-Durán, José M Petersen, Jillian M Sigwart, Julia D Simakov, Oleg Sutherland, Kelly R Sweet, Michael Talbot, Nicholas J Thompson, Anne W Bender, Sara Harrison, Peter W Rajan, Jeena Cochrane, Guy Berriman, Matthew Lawniczak, Mara K N Blaxter, Mark We present the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics Project, a global collaboration to generate high quality genome sequences for a wide range of eukaryotes and their microbial symbionts. Launched under the Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems Initiative of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the ASG Project brings together researchers from across the globe who hope to use these reference genomes to augment and extend their analyses of the dynamics, mechanisms and environmental importance of symbioses. Applying large-scale, high-throughput sequencing and assembly technologies, the ASG collaboration will assemble and annotate the genomes of 500 symbiotic organisms - both the "hosts" and the microbial symbionts with which they associate. These data will be released openly to benefit all who work on symbioses, from conservation geneticists to those interested in the origin of the eukaryotic cell.
