Researchers looked across many organisms to see that aminotransferase enzymes have evolved mix-and-match characteristics — creating many different ways of processing nitrogen.
Hydrothermal Vents and International Science: A Postdoc’s Visit to the JGI
Visiting postdoctoral fellow Junia Schultz on her research experience at the JGI and what she learned from the Microbiome Data Science group.
Ancient Algae Reveal Secrets of Plant Evolution
Learning that these genetic tools existed in close algal relatives to terrestrial plants showcases how early plants built upon an ancient genetic framework to thrive outside aquatic environments.
Exploring and Thinking Critically about Scientific Problems with JGI Interns
While summer interns at the JGI from multiple programs had their own goals to achieve, they constantly collaborated with each other on new ways of presenting and researching science.
A Mentor’s Perspective on Training the Next Generation
When an intern comes to the JGI, they’re partnered with a mentor (or a mentor and their team) that guides them and works with them. JGI mentors Zhong Wang and Igor Grigoriev talk about why they’re so passionate about mentoring.

Alabama A&M Interns Access An Abundance of Knowledge
Enabled by the DOE RENEW initiative, a pilot internship program brought AAMU students to the JGI for research training experience.
Forming Scientific Connections and Building Community
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…
Genome Insider S5 Episode: Adopt-A-Genome
In this episode, undergraduates adopt genomes that the JGI sequenced, but never published in the literature. These students analyze the genomes, write reports, and publish first-author papers, making the data available for future research.
CSP Functional Genomics Call
