“U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute releases expanded version of Phytozome.net, clearinghouse for comparative plant genomics data”

An enhanced version of Phytozome.net, a web portal for comparative plant genomics geared to advance biofuel, food, feed, and fiber research, has been released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). Phytozome provides a central “hub” for web access to a rapidly growing number of plant genomes, and includes tools for… [Read More]

“Expanded Version of Phytozome.net Released by DOE JGI”

Phytozome, accessible to the public at www.phytozome.net, is a collaboration between scientists at the DOE JGI, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of California, Berkeley Center for Integrative Genomics. It was developed with funding from the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Gordon and Betty Moore… [Read More]

“DOE JGI releases expanded version of Phytozome.net”

Phytozome provides a central “hub” for web access to a rapidly growing number of plant genomes, and includes tools for visualization of plant genomes and associated annotations, sequence analysis, and bulk, as well as targeted, plant data retrieval. The gene families available in Phytozome, defined at several evolutionarily significant epochs, provide a framework for the… [Read More]

Unraveling the Mysteries in Sorghum’s ‘Simple’ Genome

Mapping out a genetic blueprint involves determining several short sections that would make up a gene, and sequencing those in bulk. Then, scientists take all of those pieces and put them together like a puzzle—a difficult puzzle, according to Dan Rokhsar, the computational biology leader at the U.S. DOE Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek,… [Read More]
