Since its launch 25 years ago, the Genomes OnLine Database has matured into a flagship genomic metadata repository, making curated microbiome metadata freely available and enabling large-scale comparative genomics analysis initiatives. [Read More]
In the last 30 years, in environments all over the world, scientists have discovered giants among viruses. A new review provides a perspective on how culturing techniques, sequencing and bioinformatics have all broadened the study of giant viruses. [Read More]
A recent paper published in Natural Communications on Ceratopteris richardii marks the first published manuscript of a genome sequence generated through the JGI’s Open Green Genome Initiative. [Read More]
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]
Researchers showed that large-scale single cell genomics can add significant value when used in complementarity with metagenomic sequencing. [Read More]
With genomic samples collected before, during and after The Blob, researchers developed a preliminary model of how marine microbial communities are affected by warming events. [Read More]
