Schizophyllum commune project on The Medical News

“When we go into a forest we don’t see layers of dead branches because wood decay fungi take care of them,” said Igor Grigoriev, head of the DOE JGI’s Fungal Genomics Program and a senior author on the study. “So when we think about bioenergy and degrading biomass and converting that into biofuel, we would… [Read More]

Volvox genome belies “Small is Simple” Axiom

In the July 9, 2010 issue of Science, researchers led by the DOE JGI and the Salk Institute report on the 138 million-base genome of the multicellular alga Volvox carteri. The work complements the genome of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which was sequenced by the DOE JGI in 2007 and is used by researchers… [Read More]

DOE JGI’s use of Isilon scale-out NAS on EarthTimes

Leveraging Isilon’s X-Series, featuring its OneFS® operating system, JGI has unified 25 genome sequencers onto a single, high performance, highly scalable, shared pool of storage, reducing storage management. The JGI is also using the Isilon IQ 5000S-SSD, which combines SAS and Solid State Disk (SSD) drives as an additional storage resource for its team. With… [Read More]

DOE JGI’s use of Isilon scale-out NAS on San Diego, CA’s CBS 8

Prior to deploying Isilon scale-out NAS, the JGI used more than six network file system (NFS) servers to power its 25 DNA sequencers. As the JGI’s genomic sequencing operations expanded, its NFS servers were unable to scale in-line with demand, fragmenting data across its separate file systems and limiting the performance of both the JGI’s… [Read More]

DOE JGI’s use of Isilon scale-out NAS on redOrbit

By unifying its DNA sequencing operations onto 2PB of the Isilon IQ 72000X, the JGI has centralized data access. With its leading-edge, highly data-intensive R&D work powered by a separate, Isilon IQ 5000S-SSD cluster, the JGI’s DNA sequencing operations have a unified and dedicated storage resource, eliminating data fragmentation and performance bottlenecks to help speed… [Read More]

DOE JGI’s use of Isilon scale-out NAS on PRNewswire

“The JGI’s research is critical to reducing our nation’s dependency on foreign oil and replacing it with new, cleaner and more efficient energy resources,” said Sam Grocott, vice president of marketing, Isilon Systems. “This research exemplifies the term ‘mission-critical,’ requiring a storage solution with the highest levels of scalability, performance and reliability to ensure it… [Read More]

DOE JGI involvement in Australian eucalyptus project

The international sequencing effort was initiated in 2007 by the Eucalyptus genome network, Eucagen, a consortium of Eucalyptus researchers from around the globe with support from the Community Sequencing Program at the US Department of Energy (DoE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). Eucalyptus is only the second tree species in the world to have its genome… [Read More]

JGI Energy Genomics video on GenomeWeb

The US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute … teamed up with the Ex’pression College for Digital Arts to make a video to show just how sequencing genomes can help develop alternative fuels. The video premiered last week at the JGI Users’ meeting to great applause. See the embedded video at GenomeWeb or on the… [Read More]

2010 DOE JGI User Meeting on GenomeWeb

Oysters aren’t just for eating, but the University of Southern California’s Dennis Hedgecock told the crowded room at the JGI Users’ meeting on Wednesday that he likes his raw on the half shell. For his research, however, Hedgecock is using oysters to study the genetics and physiology of hybrid vigor. Read more at GenomeWeb. [Read More]

DOE JGI 5th Annual User Meeting announcement

Researchers from all over the world will be at the Marriott in Walnut Creek for the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute 5th Annual Genomics of Energy and Environment Meeting, which will feature genomics research in the fields of clean energy generation and the environment. Keynote speeches will be delivered by Jay Keasling, CEO… [Read More]
