The JGI leverages its existing partnerships and develops others providing complementary expertise to advance the science and serve as impact multipliers .
The JGI has a long-term partnership with the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology for our Plant Program, and is further leveraging the services of the Arizona Genomics Institute for DNA and RNA extractions to support plant and other efforts. The JGI works closely with DOE computational facilities (e.g., the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and data infrastructure projects—the DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase) and the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC)—to provide access to datasets, workflows, and tools to seamlessly expand data functionality. Close partnerships with other user facilities enable the ability to leverage their capabilities through the Facilities Integrating Collaborations for User Science (FICUS) program.
