# Genome Sequencing of Foodborne Pathogens by the Pennsylvania GenomeTrakr Group

> **NIH FDA U19** · PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY, THE · 2020 · $172,091

## Abstract

Project summary/abstract (Project) 
The state of Pennsylvania has been a member of the Food and Drug Administration’s 
GenomeTrakr network since Fall 2016, as a collaboration between Penn State and the 
Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH). This consortium successfully completed all 
requirements of being a member to date, while also providing training in genome 
sequencing and analysis to state lab members, and to undergraduate, graduate, and post- 
graduate students. This proposal describes the continuation of these projects for the next 
funding cycle, as well as expanded efforts to obtain and distribute food and agricultural 
isolates to other GenomeTrakr labs for whole genome sequencing.
