GEBA Project: “Beyond Darwin’s Wildest Dreams”
Recently, Eisen and his colleagues unveiled a pilot project that they hope will help the community make the most of existing microbial genome data with a phylogeny-driven resource called the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea at the Joint Genome Institute. Currently available genomic resources for microbes are from a very narrow phylogenetic distribution of… [Read More]
JGI’s involvement in Human Microbiome Project on GenomeWeb
The center’s Web portal aims to provide researchers with web-based visualization and query applications and software, as well as a robust computational analysis of HMP data. The Website also hosts information on standing operating procedures, a resource for community involvement in reference strain selection, and quality control measures. In order to meet all of the… [Read More]
