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]

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]
