Description
Summary:To foster coordination and information exchange for microbial genomics among the world wide agricultural community, the USDA co-sponsored the first International Agricultural Microbes Genome (AMG1) Conference in January 2000. The conference highlighted advances relative to sequencing, bioinformatics and functional genomics for microbes relevant to the plant, animal and natural resource areas. Several milestones were announced, including: the sequencing, by a consortium of European researchers, of Listeria monocytogenes, an important animal health and food safety pathogen; a Brazilian team's sequencing of the first bacterial plant pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa; and the impending annotation of an avian strain of Pasteurella multocida at a US institution. Nineteen countries were represented at this inaugural meeting, with an attendance that exceeded 160 scientists and policy makers.
