By studying the structure and function of a cyanobacterial protein, researchers have new insights into how these ocean photosynthesizers cycle carbon in changing conditions.
New Strategic Plan: JGI’s Next 5 Years
The DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) has released its newest 5-Year Strategic Plan: Innovating Genomics to Serve the Changing Planet. Aside from aligning the DOE Office of Science user facility with broader national efforts to promote and stimulate a bioeconomy, it lays out how users and the global research community will bridge fundamental knowledge gaps to advance biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
An Inside Look at How Plants and Mycorrhizal Fungi Cooperate
Researchers have studied both sides of plant-fungi symbiosis in one of the first cross-kingdom spatially-resolved transcriptomics studies to date.
Getting to the Bottom of Fungal Functions Across Earth’s Forests
Researchers have pioneered new understanding of which fungi take on certain functions at the forest floor. For the first time, they compared three different fungal guilds in a range of different locations. They sampled soils in four forest ecosystems, extracted RNA to understand gene expression, and developed new tools to map that soil RNA to fungal genomes.
Cracking Sugarcane’s Genetic Code
Scientists created a highly accurate reference genome for one of the most important modern crops and found a rare example of how genes confer disease resistance in plants. Exploring sugarcane’s genetic code could help researchers develop more resilient and productive crops, with implications for both sugar production and biofuels
