This series is the story of a giant metagenome assembly from Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota. In this episode: a look at the … Perlmutter that works at large scale. But nearby the JGI, a cluster called Dori is also capable of running …

Kelly Wrighton and her group at Colorado State University in Fort Collins have a massive undertaking: sequencing the world’s river microbiomes. And they’re …

In our warming world, we’ll need corn, sorghum and other crops to grow well in worse conditions: with more heat, less water and less fertilizer. Grasses do better in these conditions, so plant biologists James Schable, …

Neha’s key role is to design, benchmark, and apply bioinformatics software to enable analysis and interpretation of genomic and metagenomic data for JGI’s user community. She also provides support for user …

As waters warm due to climate change, corals are in mortal peril. But corals comprise multiple organisms: a … When warm waters stress corals, it might be their microbes, including their photosynthetic partner, that help them take the …

When local students Maya Hanck of Carondelet High School and Tim Kostolansky of De La Salle High School expressed an interest in learning more about the principles of synthetic biology, …

Despite their diminutive stature, “short plants” such as mosses could be uniquely powerful in helping scientists link plant genetic sequences to what they do. But sequencing the genome of one short plant — fire moss — had an unexpected …

To engineer yeast to do more, and understand genomes in general, Jef Boeke, Weimin Zhang (NYU Langone Health) and Leslie Mitchell …

Berkeley is responsible for receiving and processing user samples. His R&D work focuses on the development of new applications utilizing a variety of technologies to improve the JGI’s capabilities in the areas of metagenomics, …

TBK Reddy gives an overview of the JGI's Genomes OnLine Database and why curated …
