Effects of Polar Light Cycle on Microbial Food Web
While microbial populations in other Antarctic lakes and the nearby Southern Ocean shift from phototrophs to archaea when sunlight becomes scant, Ace Lake’s bacteria instead go through a boom and bust cycle aligned with light availability.

The More the Merrier: Making the Case for Plant Pan-genomes
Crop breeders have harnessed polyploidy to increase fruit and flower size, and confer stress tolerance traits. Using a Brachypodium model system, researchers have sought to learn the origins, evolution and development of plant polyploids. The work recently appeared in Nature Communications.

Picking Up Threads of Cotton Genomics
High quality genomes of the five major cotton lineages are available for comparative analysis on JGI’s plant data portal Phytozome. “The goal has been for all this new cotton work, and even the original cotton project was to try to bring in molecular methods of breeding into cotton,” said JGI Plant Program head Jeremy Schmutz.
