New IMG tutorial suites

OpenHelix today announced the availability of new tutorial suites on Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG), Integrated Microbial Genomes with Microbiome Samples (IMG/M), NCBI Viral Genomes and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (VBRC). IMG is a data management platform for analyzing microbial genomes sequenced by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) of the U.S. Department of Energy and including… [Read More]

Dead zone metagenomic study in Newstrack India

Dead zones are areas of low dissolved-oxygen concentrations caused by climate change that play a major role in the ocean ecosystem and global climate balance because they are a source of greenhouse gases and sinks for nitrogen, robbing many ocean life forms of this critical nutrient.   Scientists have observed that the zones – found… [Read More]

Metagenome study in The Montreal Gazette

There is life in the planet’s expanding dead zones, say researchers, who have uncovered a remarkable microbe thriving in toxic waters off the B.C. coast. The bacteria take up carbon dioxide like a plant, consume sulphide that is deadly to most other life forms, and exhale nitrous oxide which is a potent greenhouse gas. The… [Read More]

Dead zone microbe on io9

Researchers have mapped the genome of a microbe that thrives in oxygen-deprived areas of the ocean known as “dead zones.” These creatures are increasing, and their ability to live without oxygen might make them perfect space-dwellers. The article, published today in Science, looks at a microbe known as SUPO5, which lives in areas of the… [Read More]

Dead zone metagenome study on the CBC

Canadian and U.S. researchers have mapped the genome of a microbe that lives in ocean “dead zones,” areas of low-oxygen water that are expanding because of climate change. Researchers at the University of British Columbia and the U.S. Department of Energy say the microbe, called SUP05, is the most abundant organism in these oxygen-minimum zones… [Read More]

Marine metagenome study in New Kerala

In a new study, a team of scientists has mapped the genome of a microbe that is a key biological indicator of oceanic dead zones. The study was carried out by a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia, along with colleagues at the US Dept. of Energy Joint Genome Institute. “Microbes specialize… [Read More]

OMZ metagenomic study on redOrbit

In the Oct. 23 issue of the journal Science, researchers from the University of British Columbia and the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) describe the metagenome of an abundant but uncultivated microbe, known as SUP05, that is silently helping to shape the ecology of [oxygen minimum zones] worldwide. Researchers studied the… [Read More]
