Soybean sequence on EcoFriend

A team of researchers has achieved a milestone in soybean research that could enhance its use for the production of biodiesel. Soybean, which is considered one of the most important sources of protein and oil, has now become the first legume species with a published complete draft genome sequence. As of now, researcher have determined… [Read More]

Soybean genome on redOrbit

Jeremy Schmutz, the study’s first author and a DOE JGI scientist at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Alabama, said that the soybean sequencing was the largest plant project done to date at the DOE Joint Genome Institute. “It also happens to be the largest plant that’s ever been sequenced by the whole genome shotgun… [Read More]

Soybean sequence on Agence France Presse

Scientists on Wednesday unveiled the genome of the soybean, saying it was an achievement that should deepen understanding of one of the world’s most important crops, help to boost yields and defend the plant against pests. The study, published by the British weekly science journal Nature, provides a springboard for research into soy’s DNA structure… [Read More]

Soybean sequence on UC Newsroom

Soybean, one of the most important global sources of protein and oil, is now the first legume species with a published complete draft genome sequence. The sequence and its analysis appear in the Jan. 14 edition of the journal Nature. The research team comprised 18 institutions, including the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute… [Read More]

Profile: Richard Myers of HudsonAlpha

But in 2008, with much ado that included a glowing endorsement from Alabama Governor Bob Riley, Myers officially made the move to HudsonAlpha. In addition to being handed the steering wheel of a new institute, this was a homecoming of sorts for the Tuscaloosa native. Myers’ lab continues to work with the Joint Genome Institute… [Read More]
