Citrus Genome Sequences on GenomeWeb Daily News

For the sweet orange sequencing project, which was spearheaded by researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute, the University of Florida, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and 454 Life Sciences, the team used the Roche 454 GS FLX and FLX Titanium platforms to tackle the 320 million base genome of the Ridge… [Read More]

HudsonAlpha involved in cacao genome project

A first draft of the cacao genome is complete, a consortium of academic, governmental, and industry scientists announced today. Indiana University Bloomington scientists performed much of the sequencing work, which is described and detailed at http://www.cacaogenomedb.org/, the official website of the Cacao Genome Database project. Despite being led and funded by a private company, Mars… [Read More]

HudsonAlpha involved in cacao genome project

Excerpted from EurekAlert!: “Mockaitis, a biochemist-turned-genomicist, joined the project in early 2009, and quickly set to work with her collaborators to tackle the challenge of sequencing and accurately pasting together the approximately 400 million base pairs of the tree’s genome. Mockaitis’ Cacao Genome Group partners at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Subtropical Horticulture Research Station… [Read More]

Soybean genome on EcoSeed

The soybean is now the first legume species to have its complete genome sequence published, an achievement which could improve its potential as a biofuel feedstock. A research team made up of 18 institutions which included the United States Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, Purdue University and… [Read More]

JGI soybean genome work in BMC journal article

The soybean genome was recently sequenced by the Department of Energy-Joint Genome Institute (DOE-JGI) and is publicly available. Mining of this sequence identified 5,671 soybean genes as putative transcription factors. These genes were comprehensively annotated as an aid to the soybean research community. We developed SoyDB – a knowledge database for all the transcription factors… [Read More]

Soybean genome on Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel blog

The research team for the project spenned 18 different institutions, including the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute. The soybean sequencing was the institute’s largest plant project so far, and is also the largest plant that has ever been sequenced using a technique called “the whole genome shotgun strategy.” Jeremy Schmutz, first author of the… [Read More]

Soybean genome at the Kearney Hub

Nationwide, soybean production in 2009 totaled 3.36 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the Nov. 1 forecast and up 13 percent from 2008. U.S. production is the largest on record. The average yield per acre is estimated at a record-high 44 bushels, 0.7 bushel above the Nov. 1 forecast and 4.3 bushels above 2008’s yield…. [Read More]

Soybean genome on Delta Farm Press

This sequencing of the soy genome is the culmination of more than 15 years of collaborative research. The team used a so-called “whole-genome shotgun” (WGS) approach to sequence 85 percent of the 1.1 billion nucleotide base pairs that spell out soy’s entire DNA code. The sequence also provides researchers with a critical reference to use… [Read More]

Soybean genome in Meat Trade News Daily

The study was authored by Jeremy Schmutz of the Joint Genome Institute and the HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center, the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service, Purdue University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and 43 other researchers from 18 institutions. The Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, USDA and United Soybean Board… [Read More]

Soybean genome on Iowa Farmer Today

“Soybean and other legumes play a critical role in global food security and human health and are used in a wide range of products, from tofu, soy flour, meat substitutes and soy milk to soy oil-based printing ink and biodiesel,” Molly Jahn, USDA deputy under secretary for research, education and economics, said in a news… [Read More]
