JGI Summer 2009 Primer now available for download

Featuring, in no particular order: Micromonas algae and the global carbon cycle the brown-rot fungus Postia placenta JGI researchers call for standards in genome sequencing and annotation at a conference in Santa Fe, NM studying the Great Salt Lake in Utah on JGI User Meeting keynotes by Chris Somerville, Craig Venter and George Church, plus… [Read More]

JGI/AgResearch collaboration on TVNZ

New Zealand scientists trying to find a cost-effective way of reducing livestock emissions of major greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide and methane, are to be given a helping hand by American researchers. The US Department of Energy’s joint genome institute (JGI) is helping researchers have the DNA of microbes in the forestomach (rumen) of livestock animals… [Read More]

Texan termite hindgut project part of JGI’s CSP 2010

Dr. Jorge Rodrigues, a University of Texas at Arlington microbiologist, has been selected for a highly competitive genome sequencing project by the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute. Rodrigues will sequence the genome of a microorganism isolated from a termite’s hindgut as part of an effort to identify solutions to climate change. The Joint… [Read More]

GenomeWeb’s InSequence looks at CSP 2010 projects

Both 454’s and Illumina’s sequencing technologies will play important roles in 71 new genomic sequencing projects that the Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute announced yesterday for its 2010 Community Sequencing Program. According to a statement from the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based institute, JGI’s “recent transition to new sequencing technologies” has almost quintupled the amount of… [Read More]

AgResearch release on CSP 2010 as reported by Scoop

Biofuel production from agricultural wastes and more food from ruminant animals with lower environmental impacts are more likely now AgResearch has successfully applied to a prestigious US institution to have the DNA of microbes within the forestomach (rumen) of these animals sequenced. AgResearch scientists Christina Moon, Graeme Attwood and their team applied to the US… [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]

Stony Brook researcher’s project part of CSP 2010

Dr. Jackie Collier, assistant professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University will join the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute in a project to sequence the genomes of four species of labyrinthulomycetes. In additon to understanding how these little critters break down often hard to decompose, the information… [Read More]
