A collaborative research team, including the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology Division’s Trent Northen, Suzanne Kosina, and Aymerick Eudes, has discovered a new carbon “pathway” occurring during photosynthesis that is important to understanding plant growth and response to climate change. Stemming from what is known as the C1 photosynthesis reaction, in which plants use carbon … Read more »

Researchers in the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology Division collaborated on a study to better understand the role of viruses that infect photosynthetic phytoplankton in the marine food web.

A Colorado State University-led team of scientists including researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have detailed for the first time both broad and specific information about the presence and function of microorganisms in rivers covering 90% of the watersheds in the continental U.S.

Berkeley Lab expertise and capabilities enabled this research by bringing genomic sequencing tools and expertise along with making the data widely accessible through public databases.

Berkeley Lab colleagues share memories of Stephan Chan, who served as Joint Genome Institute’s (JGI’s) Advanced Analytics Manager from 2021 until his death. A memorial bike ride in his honor is being planned.

Several Biosciences Area personnel are among the 2024 recipients of Berkeley Lab Director’s Achievement Awards. The program recognizes outstanding contributions by employees to all aspects of Lab activities.
