Hello everybody!
We're students in agronomy in Institut National Agronomique Paris Grignon
in France. We're working on a project of sequencing 3 pathogenic
bacteria, Erwinia chrysentemi, Brucella and Pasteurella i.e. bacteria
pathogenic on either plant, animal and human. This is like a learning
exercise but we have to hardly argue beyond a technical and scientific
board of examiners.
We're searching for suggested readings but also advices or comments on
this project.
Some few details that we wanted being precised or described:
- The bacteria we have choosen and the reasons why we choose them
a plant pathogenic bacteria Erwinia chrysanthemi
an animal one: Pasteurella
a human one: Brucella
- Characteristics and description of their pathogenicity
- technics of sequencing
culture
how obtaining DNA banks
cloning (which vectors); how many clones necessary
how obtaining contigs
analyse of the datas
how finding ORFs
-achievement of the project
time
prices
number of researchers and technicians required
others?
- reasons to make such a project = what we are searching for
real breakthrought for any scientist or only datas for
specialists
better knowledge of pathogenicity genes, of any bacterial gene
sequencing the whole genome vs sequencing the islands of
pathogenicity
finding new means for fighting against these pathogens
others?
Please excuse our poor English...
Any idea is welcome!
