Recent improvements in technology have made DNA sequencing dramatically faster and more efficient than ever before. The new technologies produce highly accurate sequences, but one drawback is that the most efficient technology produces the shortest read lengths. Short-read sequencing has been applied successfully to resequence the human genome and those of other species but not to whole-genome sequencing of novel organisms. Here we describe the sequencing and assembly of a novel clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strain PAb1, using very short read technology. From 8,627,900 reads, each 33 nucleotides in length, we assembled the genome into one scaffold of 76 ordered contiguous sequences containing 6,290,005 nucleotides, including one contig spanning 512,638 nucleotides, plus an additional 436 unordered contigs containing 416,897 nucleotides. Our method includes a novel gene-boosting algorithm that uses amino acid sequences from predicted proteins to build a better assembly. This study demonstrates the feasibility of very short read sequencing for the sequencing of bacterial genomes, particularly those for which a related species has been sequenced previously, and expands the potential application of this new technology to most known prokaryotic species. In this paper we demonstrate that a bacterial genome, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can be decoded using very short DNA sequences, namely, those produced by the newest generation of DNA sequencers such as the Solexa sequencer from Illumina. Our method includes a novel algorithm that uses the protein sequences from other species to assist the assembly of the new genome. This algorithm breaks up the genome into gene-sized chunks that can be put back together relatively easily, even from sequence fragments as short as 30 bases of DNA. We also take advantage of the genomes of related species, using them as reference strains to assist the assembly. By combining these and other techniques, we were able to assemble 94% of the 6.7 million bases of P. aeruginosa into just 76 large pieces. The remaining 6% is contained in 436 smaller fragments. We have made all of our software available for free under open-source licenses, and we have deposited the newly assembled genome in the public GenBank database.
