… – problems that might need special technology for DNA sequencing, genomics, metabolomics, and synthetic biology, … stories about natural products, so you can get a feel for why I think they’re so important, and we’ll start to explain … the JGI. And so now here at the JGI, I work with all of the sequencing data that the JGI produces to try to find and …

… really the same kind of thing. Before the age of genome sequencing, we had to basically break up the pieces of DNA … And you would scan those pieces by hybridization or maybe sequencing if you were rich enough. [CHUCKLES] And once you … for us– what organisms people use for genome mining, why it’s called genome mining, how the biosynthetic gene …

… started collaborating with Ben and his group to work on sequencing, synthesis and genome mining technology to help … because – mainly it’s due to the emerging technology on DNA sequencing and synthetic biology. But also the metagenomics … the paradigm of how to discover natural products. So, why I’m very excited to be working with Dan, you, with the …

… enzymes are, right? ALISON NARAYAN: Yes, and so that’s why I don’t like that sentence. I think that sometimes, we … [project] with JGI, how many flavin monooxygenases are you sequencing, sort of along that vein, of if you have one or … guess with along that line, with JGI, like how many are you sequencing currently? ALISON NARAYAN: Yeah. So– yeah, with …

… you maybe explain what’s going on with their biology and why they’re so important to natural products? ERIC:  Sure. … took an approach that was kind of a simplified metagenome sequencing approach to pick this system apart.  DAN:  And … doing was pursuing with Jacques Ravel, at TIGR, metagenome sequencing, which was very early days for that technology. …

… biological perspective, like what was this bacterium, and why did your group want to study it? Marnix Medema: You mean … gene clusters. And I had heard the first rumors of people sequencing like these enormous numbers of genomes, like 20 … families across all genomes. And the acceleration of genome sequencing, especially in bacteria, has been enormous. There …

… DAN: Alright, so I think we’ve covered a little bit about why they’re important. But one of the things I did want to … is similar to primary metabolism. So if you were, you know, sequencing an organism for the first time, and you’ve never … more knowledge you can generate. So that’s why we are still sequencing lots of stuff, and why the JGI is a key driver in …
