报告人简介

Hans-Peter Klenk qualified with a Master’s degree in Biochemistry (Eberhard Karls University Tübingen) and a PhD in Microbiology (Ludwig Maximilians University München and Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry).

Hans-Peter Klenk is a leader in microbial genomics, a field that has transformed microbiology. Some of his instrumental contributions in shaping the field of Microbiology include the Sequencing of Orphan Species(SOS) Intiative and the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea(GEBA). As a Director of Microbiology at one of the largest culture collections centers in the world, he has been instrumental for establishing genome sequencing of type strains.

Professor Hans-Peter Klent is a pioneer and leader in the field of microbial genomics. He has been part of the microbial genomics revolution from the very begging of whole genome sequencing(including the analysis og the second archaeal genome, that of Archaeoglobus fulgidus), and he has being playing an instrumental role in the sequencing and analysis of hundreds of bacterial and archaeal genomes since then. During the last few years ha has played a pivotal role in shaping projects and research directions for studying the evolution of microorganisms and the genealogical relationships among prokaryotes. His achievements in these firectiond and through his critical role in projects such as the Sequencing of Orphan Species(SOS) and the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea(GEBA), including the sequencing and analysis of over 1,000 type strains as well as getting funding approved for sequencing another 2-3,000 type strains in the next couple of years. The results of his work have already a dramatic impact on the field of bacterial taxonomy. In recognition of his critical role and outingstanding contrubutions in systematic bacteriology, he was the recipient of the prestigious 2014 Bergey Aeard by Bergey’s Manual Trust, Athens, GA,USA. Professor Kelenk is also an Honorary member of the Hungarian Society for Microbiology and the Indian Association of Microbiologists, he is a member of the editorial board of several microbiology journals, and a member of several international committees and working groups in Bioinformatics, Microbial Genomics and Bacterial systematics.

报告摘要

Sequencing the genomes of the type strains of all Bacteria and Archaea, the Genomic Encyclopaedia of Bacteria and Archaea [GEBA]

The talk will present the progress and results of 10 years running the GEBA project, with lessons learned for phylogeny, taxonomy and data mining of the first few thousands of genomes.
