Abstract
Accelerate your microbial genomics research with reliable, reference-quality data from authenticated strains. The ATCC Genome Portal is a centralized, ISO 9001–compliant platform offering access to thousands of high-integrity microbial genomes—all linked directly to ATCC’s authenticated biological materials.
This presentation highlights how the ATCC Genome Portal empowers researchers to improve reproducibility, ensure data provenance, and perform strain-level analyses across bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses. You will explore advanced search capabilities and a user-friendly web interface, secure access to data via a REST-API for seamless integration into workflows, and the rigorous scientific standards behind ATCC’s genome assemblies. Additionally, real-world use cases in diagnostics, biotechnology, and infectious disease research will be discussed.
Whether you’re building bioinformatics pipelines, exploring microbial diversity, or advancing translational research, the ATCC Genome Portal is your trusted resource for authenticated, high-quality genomic data.

Jonathan Jacobs, PhD
Senior Director of Bioinformatics, ATCC
Dr. Jonathan Jacobs leads ATCC’s Sequencing & Bioinformatics Center and the development of the ATCC Genome Portal. He has over 20 years of experience in molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and microbial genomics, and he has worked throughout his career at the interface of academia, government, and industry. He holds a joint Research Professor appointment at Syracuse University’s Forensic & National Security Sciences Institute in support of microbial forensics graduate student training and research, and he actively collaborates with several US public health laboratories involved in pathogen genomics research and surveillance. Dr. Jacobs is also certified in Product Management from Pragmatic Institute, and he has led successful commercial launches of several bioinformatics products into the market.
Reference-quality sequences
Through the ATCC Genome Portal, you can easily search, access, and analyze thousands of reference-quality genome sequences. Our optimized methodology is designed to achieve complete, circularized (when biologically appropriate), and contiguous genomic elements by using short-read (virology collection) and hybrid (bacteriology, mycology, and protistology collections) assembly techniques. We then take our workflow one step further by accompanying each stage of the process with rigorous quality control analyses that ensure the highest quality data. Only the data that passes all quality control criteria are published to the ATCC Genome Portal. Visit the portal today to find the high-quality data you need for your research.
