To provide broad plant genomic capabilities, the DOE Joint Genome Institute works in partnership with the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, which specializes in genome improvement for plants. As part of that partnership, the JGI and HudsonAlpha researchers led a team that recently published work on the JGI Plant Gene Atlas in Nucleic Acids Research. Learn more on the JGI website.
Beatriz Rett, Safety Sentinel
As the Safety Manager for the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) at Berkeley Lab, Beatriz Rett has found a way to blend her lifelong fascination with science and her desire to make an immediate difference in the lives of other people. “When employees feel heard and taken care of, they are more likely to stick around,” she said. “I’m happy to be a part of that work at Berkeley Lab.”
JGI Researchers Trace Strawberry Ancestors For a View of Crop Evolution
In the summer of 2015, Adam Session was a postdoc working at the DOE Joint Genome Institute with Dan Rokhsar, who also holds a joint appointment with the University of California, Berkeley. Nowadays, Session is an Assistant Professor at Binghamton University in New York. He and Rokhsar have recently published a Nature Communications paper that builds off their early collaborations that could help crop breeders and researchers predict how crops and model organisms may evolve.
JGI Creates a New Matchmaker for Phages and their Hosts
To do anything, viruses must find a host, and not just any host will do. It must be a specific host the virus has adapted to commandeer. For bacteriophage viruses, these hosts are microbes like bacteria, not humans. With metagenomic sequencing, researchers have found more of these viruses than ever before, in all kinds of ecosystems. However, matching these viral genetic sequences to their hosts is crucial to understanding what these viruses can do. Building on existing virus-host prediction approaches, researchers have created a new program called iPHoP (pronounced “eye-pop”, freely available online).
JGI Applies Super-charged Stable Isotope Probing to Fungal Hyphosphere
High-throughput stable isotope probing (SIP) proved to vastly reduce labor and improve results. Applying this method to the study of a particular fungi, researchers identified novel interactions between bacteria and the fungi.
