An ENCODE-like model for Chlamy
The objective of this project is to to perform a comprehensive study of regulatory (transcriptional and miRNA) networks underlying the nutrient stress-induced lipid accumulation response. They intend to use the information to develop an ENCODE-like working model of DNA regulatory elements associated with nutrient-responsive control of lipid accumulation phenotype (LAP) and biomass production in Chlamydomonas… [Read More]
Banfield collaboration in Quanta magazine
“We used to think there were just plants and animals,” said Edward Rubin, director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute. “Then we got microscopes, and got microbes. Then we got small levels of DNA sequencing.” Quanta magazine focused on a recent project led by Jill Banfield in Colorado, one that significantly increased the known… [Read More]

“[S]oon after the turn of the century, new high-octane DNA sequencing methods made it possible to sequence thousands or even millions of genes almost instantly. These new, speedier methods meant researchers could easily sequence the collective genomes of the sample, known as a metagenome, for the first time. Suddenly, it was possible to scan the… [Read More]
