GenomeWeb’s InSequence looks at CSP 2010 projects

Both 454’s and Illumina’s sequencing technologies will play important roles in 71 new genomic sequencing projects that the Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute announced yesterday for its 2010 Community Sequencing Program. According to a statement from the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based institute, JGI’s “recent transition to new sequencing technologies” has almost quintupled the amount of… [Read More]

CSP 2010 release on Bionity.com

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) has selected 71 new genomic sequencing projects for its 2010 Community Sequencing Program (CSP) — a targeted sampling of the planet’s biodiversity — to be characterized for bioenergy, climate, and environmental applications. JGI’s Community Sequencing Program is the largest genomic sequencing effort in the world… [Read More]

~70 projects in JGI’s 2010 pipeline

“Plant Microbe Shares Features with Drug-Resistant Pathogen”

Brookhaven Lab’s contribution to this study was supported by grants from DOE’s Office of Science, Laboratory Directed Research and Development funds, and by Royalty Funds at Brookhaven Lab under contract with DOE. Sequencing of R551-3 was performed at the DOE Joint Genome Institute. The rest of the story can be found here. [Read More]

“JGI Updates Microbial Genomes Resource”

The US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute has released an updated microbial genomics resource for researchers that now includes reference genomes and metagenomic data, JGI said Tuesday. The Integrated Microbial Genomes system with Microbiomes (IMG/M) 2.8 contains tools for analysis of microbial communities based on their metagenome sequence, within the context of reference isolate… [Read More]

“Craig Venter Has Algae Biofuel in Synthetic Genomics’ Pipeline”

In his Joint Genome Institute keynote speech in March, Venter said “the new algae” is something that “secretes whatever lipid size we want to engineer. This changes algae from what everybody’s been looking at as a farming problem into a manufacturing problem. So we are trying to get algae to go into a continuous production… [Read More]
