Genomic model research on The Medical News

With other UNSW and US colleagues, Professor Cavicchioli compared the genomes of two common ocean bacteria that employ different strategies for living: one lives in nutrient-rich waters and is fast to grow and replicate itself, and another lives in poor-nutrient waters, and grows more slowly. The findings are published in the Proceedings of the National… [Read More]

Sampling just a few genes can reveal not only the “lifestyle” of marine microbes but of their entire environments, new research suggests. The finding means researchers may be able to predict the types of microbes that thrive in specific marine environments by sampling the genomes of just a few dominant species, according to research co-author… [Read More]

Genomic model research on redOrbit

The oceans, which make up 71 percent of our planet’s surface, are home to microorganisms that are adapted to life strategies along a continuum of two extremes: those that thrive in nutrient-rich waters often associated with warmer regions and those that prefer nutrient-poor waters. Collected from waters off the Alaskan coast, the bacterium Sphingopyxis alaskensis… [Read More]

CSP 2010 release on Bionity.com

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… [Read More]

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]

‘Algae leading the way to photosynthesis’

Scientists have decoded genomes of two strains of green algae, highlighting genes that allow them to capture carbon emissions and maintain the oceans’ chemical balance, a study said on Thursday. The strains’ productivity as a significant source of marine food and their ability to capture carbon means the algae can influence the carbon flux and… [Read More]
