Researchers looked at plant-fungi interactions in one of the first cross-kingdom spatially-resolved transcriptomics studies to date.
Supercomputing, MetaHipMer and the Mega Dataset of Lake Mendota
Microbial ecologist and JGI user Trina McMahon has been sampling microbes for over 20 years; the metagenomes from this sample set was the largest project the JGI had ever put together.
Finding the Fermenters
Building off JGI and KBase data resources, researchers developed an interactive and comprehensive database of fermentative microbes.
FICUS Webinar: “Shining a Light: Advanced Photon Source Capabilities for FICUS Research”
A webinar on how researchers can tap the capabilities of the Advanced Photon Source when applying to the EMSL-JGI FICUS call for proposals.
JGI announces 2024 New Investigator portfolio
Here are the 21 researchers whose proposals were accepted for 2024 through the New Investigator call under our Community Science Program.
Three Join the JGI User Executive Committee
Sneha Couvilion, Chris Schadt and Elizabeth “Lizzy” Wilbanks join eight other JGI users already serving on the User Executive Committee.
JGI Contributes Eight to 2023 Highly Cited Researchers list
Congratulations to the 2023 Highly Cited Researchers from the JGI recognized for their “significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade” by Clarivate Analytics.
Genome Insider S4 Episode 8: The Megadata of Lake Mendota – Part 3: Boating Out to David Buoy
This is the third and final episode of our series on a giant metagenome assembly from Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota. In the last two episodes, we’ve covered the specialized software and supercomputers behind this project. But every part of this project depends on lakewater samples — so this episode is a look at how researchers get these specialized snapshots of a freshwater ecosystem.
Eelgrass proves to be much younger than we thought
JGI-enabled research shows eelgrass began colonizing oceans over 2.5 million years more recently than previously thought.
Genome Insider S4 Episode 7: The Megadata of Lake Mendota – Part 2: Souped Up Computing
This series is the story of a giant metagenome assembly from Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota. In this episode: a look at the supercomputing that stitches together large datasets with the assembler program MetaHipMer2.
Oak Ridge National Lab is home to two supercomputers — Summit and Frontier — that process terabytes of data with MetaHipMer2. But nearby the JGI, a cluster called Dori is also capable of running smaller MetaHipMer assemblies — so we head there for a sense of what this supercomputing looks like.
