Tube Rack – 25 Tubes
Tubes 1-24: Clinically-relevant
microbial pathogens
Tube 25: Human DNA as
“background”
• Genome assembly
• Base level purity (e.g. rare
variants)
• Genomic contaminants
• Quantity (~ 50-100 ng/μL), to
infer genomes per μL
• Stability
Each tube will contain a single
genome and will be characterized:
