CSP2010 release part of Biotech Roundup

JGI ANNOUNCES 2010 COMMUNITY SEQUENCING PROJECTS – The US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute announced that it will support 71 new sequencing projects to advance its bio-energy and climate research programs. The programs will involve whole-genome sequencing, single cell sequencing, resequencing of bacteria, and metagenomics of microbial communities, JGI said. The rest of the… [Read More]

JGI involved in Canadian genomic research on mountain pine beetle

  [P]redicting and guaranteeing sources of feedstock is complicated by natural and environmental factors, such as the current mountain pine beetle epidemic which has devastated more than 14 million hectares of pine forests, crossed BC’s Rocky Mountain barrier into Alberta, and is now poised to threaten Canada’s vast boreal forest. Dr. Joerg Bohlmann (UBC) is… [Read More]

~70 projects in JGI’s 2010 pipeline

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) has selected 71 new genomic sequencing projects for its 2010 Community Sequencing Program (CSP)a targeted sampling of the planet’s biodiversity to be characterized for bioenergy, climate, and environmental applications. JGI’s Community Sequencing Program is the largest genomic sequencing effort in the world focused on nonmedical… [Read More]

“DOE JGI releases expanded version of Phytozome.net”

Phytozome provides a central “hub” for web access to a rapidly growing number of plant genomes, and includes tools for visualization of plant genomes and associated annotations, sequence analysis, and bulk, as well as targeted, plant data retrieval. The gene families available in Phytozome, defined at several evolutionarily significant epochs, provide a framework for the… [Read More]

“DOE JGI releases expanded version of Phytozome.net”

An enhanced version of Phytozome.net, a web portal for comparative plant genomics geared to advance biofuel, food, feed, and fiber research, has been released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). The rest of the story appears here. [Read More]
