DOE JGI microbes on space shuttle Endeavour per Wired UK

there are also some other passengers on the shuttle, who might not receive the same media attention, sew-on patches and victory parades. Alongside the all-male crew of mission STS-134, six types of microorganism and a bobtail squid will strap in their seat-belts and head into space.

Tringe DOE Award in Technology Today

Susannah Tringe of the Genomics Division and DOE’s Joint Genome Institute. Tringe investigates the sequencing and characterization of natural communities of microbes and their roles in processes ranging from biomass degradation to efficient production of biofuels from non-food crops. Her Early Career award from the Office of Biological and Environmental Research is for her proposal “Microbial… [Read More]

JGI Science @ the Lesher in The Oakland Tribune

The researchers, who will speak Monday evening at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, are working with the Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, a federal facility for genetic sequencing of microbes and other life-forms. The terrestrial ecosystem, meaning everything on land — from plants to soil and other geological features —… [Read More]

JGI Science @ the Lesher in Financial Tech Spotlight

The one-celled creatures are now part of a major research initiative at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory to explore ways to recapture more of the 6 billion tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide human activities generate annually The researchers, who will speak Monday evening at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, are working with the… [Read More]

JGI Science @ the Lesher on Walnut Creek Patch

Most of us don’t even think about the insides of cows, the genes of waterfleas or the behavioral genetics of pollinating bees, but the 250 expert researchers who sequence microbial species—and actually understand the results—also know how to translate heavy duty science into layman’s language.

Toward a Genomic Encyclopedia of Fungi

Fungi are key components of terrestrial ecosystems and help maintain the interactions between a myriad of species of animals, plants and bacteria that make up these environments. With the ability to thrive in a wide variety of ecological niches, fungi are essential to the global carbon cycle, and the enzymes and metabolites they produce are… [Read More]

DOE JGI’s Community Sequencing Program Project Call in GenomeWeb

The Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute said today that it is now accepting letters of intent from researchers seeking to use the genomics technologies available through its Community Sequencing Program (CSP). JGI’s sequencing program provides the scientific community with access to a range of high-throughput technologies for use in large-scale sequence-based genomic projects that… [Read More]
