Researchers looked across many organisms to see that aminotransferase enzymes have evolved mix-and-match characteristics — creating many different ways of processing nitrogen. [Read More]
The 11th cohort of JGI-UC Merced interns pick highlights from their summer experiences. This year the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, hosted three undergraduates and seven graduate students from UC Merced through their long standing internship program. In just two months, the students participated… [Read More]
New research shows methanogenesis is not limited to Euryarchaeota. Research of these newly found methanogens will continue with DOE support. [Read More]
These projects include cutting-edge research into microbial communities — from freshwater estuaries reshaped by dam removal to Antarctica’s photosynthetic mats — to reveal how these systems adapt and contribute to global biogeochemical cycles. [Read More]
The JGI accepted proposals for state-of-the-art functional genomics research from nine reseachers who translate genomic information into biological function. [Read More]
By studying the structure and function of a cyanobacterial protein, researchers have new insights into how these ocean photosynthesizers cycle carbon in changing conditions. [Read More]
