Burkholderia Genome Sequencing and Analysis

We developed some of the earliest annotated genome sequences for the genus Burkholderia including the biothreat agents Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei. We expanded on our genome sequencing efforts to include efforts in whole genome gene expression analysis and functional analysis of genome variation. We also sequenced several members of the Burkholderia cenocepacia complex that are important pathogens in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients.
