Soybean genome work on DailyKos

Publication of the soybean genome opens the door to major crop improvements. While biodiesel from soybean oil represents a cleaner, renewable alternative to fossil fuels with desirable properties as a liquid transportation fuel, there simply is not enough oil produced by the plant to be a competitive gasoline on a gallons-of-fuel yield per acre. The… [Read More]

Soybean genome in North Queensland Register

This sequencing of the soy genome is the culmination of more than 15 years of collaborative research. The team used a whole-genome shotgun approach to sequence 85 per cent of the 1.1 billion nucleotide base pairs that spell out the soybean’s entire DNA code. Read more at the North Queensland Register. [Read More]

Soybean genome in TopNews.in

The complete genome of soybean, which is the world’s most important economic crop, has successfully been sequenced by American scientists, revealing some very surprising findings and opening up the potential to come up with improved strains. Read the rest of the article at TopNews. [Read More]

Jeremy Schmutz on soybean sequence in The Huntsville Times (AL)

A local researcher’s quest to “build a better soybean” has landed him in the most recent issue of the science journal Nature, published today. Jeremy Schmutz, a faculty investigator at the HudsonAlpha Institute of Biotechnology in Huntsville, is the lead author on a study involving the soybean’s genetic makeup. “This is really exciting,” he said….

Soybean sequence on Australian Life Scientist

Soybean also appears to have a highly duplicated genome, with around three quarters of the genes copied in multiple locations. This is the result of genome duplications that took place approximately 59 and 13 million years ago, after which the genome underwent gene diversification and loss and numerous chromosome rearrangements. The genome was sequenced using… [Read More]

Soybean sequence on Checkbiotech

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 sequence on TopNews New Zealand

The complete genome of soybean, which is the world’s most important economic crop, has successfully been sequenced by American scientists, revealing some very surprising findings and opening up the potential to come up with improved strains…. Most of the study and sequencing was undertaken at the Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, California. Read more… [Read More]

Soybean sequence on ENS-Newswire

Having the new soybean sequence as a reference is expected to increase the speed and reduce the costs of resequencing the 20,000 stored soybean lines.  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… [Read More]

Soybean sequence in Newswise

The sequencing of the soybean genome will be announced in a paper forthcoming in the January 14 issue of the journal Nature. Authored by Jeremy Schmutz of the Joint Genome Institute and the HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center and 43 other researchers from 18 institutions, the paper details results pointing to key evolutionary events that may… [Read More]

Soybean sequence on Farm and Dairy

Agricultural Research Service is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency. The Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute; Purdue University at West Lafayette, Ind.; the University of Missouri at Columbia; and the University of Arizona at Tucson also participated in the soybean sequencing project, which was supported by the National Science Foundation and USDA’s National Institute… [Read More]
