JGI Announces 2023 Community Science Program Awardees
The JGI announces its latest portfolio of proposals approved through the JGI’s annual Community Science Program (CSP) call. [Read More]
Extracting the Secrets of Secondary Metabolites
Microbial secondary metabolites, those molecules not essential for growth yet essential for survival, may now be easier to characterize following a JGI proof-of-concept study in which researchers paired CRAGE and CRISPR technologies. [Read More]
Streamlining Regulon Identification in Bacteria
Using RIViT-seq technology, researchers were able to identify the target genes of transcription factors in Streptomyces coelicolor. [Read More]
JGI at 25: Building a Better Bean
The JGI’s original reference genome for Phaseolus vulgaris has been instrumental in creating a hardier, higher-yield bean. [Read More]
Supporting Global Research into Actinomycetes
ActinoBase, a public platform built on the knowledge of researchers studying actinomycetes, is the focus of a recent paper published in Microbial Genomics, ”ActinoBase: An Actinomycete Community Wiki.” [Read More]
SPRUCE-ing Up Science
From an internship with the JGI to studying climate change with ORNL, Travis Lawrence is grateful for the experience along the way. [Read More]
JGI at 25: Studying Sorghum’s Survival Skills
Since publishing the original sorghum reference genome, the JGI continues to work on better understanding its toughness and energy storage. [Read More]
Giant Bacteria Found in Guadeloupe Mangroves Challenge Traditional Concepts
In Science, researchers describe the features of a giant filamentous bacterium composed of a single cell. [Read More]
Polar Phytoplankton Need Zinc to Cope with the Cold
Antarctic waters harbor higher levels of the nutrient zinc, and phytoplankton have evolved to rely on it. [Read More]
JGI at 25: Solving the Mystery of the Missing Oil
JGI at 25 revisits our contributions to a systems biology approach understanding how waves of microbial communities dispersed the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. [Read More]
