In a new study, Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Division research scientist Lauren Lui presents the first steps of her ambitious plan to catalogue the complete genomes of the microbial life found in the San Francisco Estuary near the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Using the latest sequencing technology, Lui aims to fill in a missing piece of how this sensitive, critical ecosystem is knit together. Ultimately, her work could help scientists formulate a more predictive understanding of how microbes respond to environmental changes.
An Enzyme Family that Helped Shape Nitrogen Metabolism on Our Planet
Researchers looked across many organisms to see that aminotransferase enzymes have evolved mix-and-match characteristics — creating many different ways of processing nitrogen.
When Marine Algae Get Sick: How Viruses Shape Microbe Interactions
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.
Cataloging the Microbiome of U.S. Rivers
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.
Remembering Stephen Chan
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.
