The Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute has already churned out over 40 trillion bases of sequence data this year, using a variety of next-generation sequencers for applications including de novo whole genome sequencing, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, methylation sequencing, and even some single cell sequencing.
While the majority of its work is currently in whole genome sequencing, the institute is increasingly looking beyond just sequencing genomes to doing more functional genomics work like RNA-seq and epigenetic sequencing, as well as honing single-cell sequencing techniques.
