DOE Mission Areas Bioenergy Research Centers Science Programs Products Science Highlights ScientistsIn Hot Spring Microbial Mat, Viruses Ride “Piggyback”In The ISME Journal, scientists have used sequencing methods for the first time to comprehensively characterize viral-host interactions. Read moreEffects of Polar Light Cycle on Microbial Food WebWhile microbial populations in other Antarctic lakes and the nearby Southern Ocean shift from phototrophs to archaea when sunlight becomes scant, Ace Lake’s bacteria instead go through a boom and bust cycle aligned with light availability. Read moreGene Expression: From On-Off Switch to DialScientists have developed a more nuanced library approach to tuning gene expression in metabolic pathways, allowing researchers to identify variations of essential genes in metabolic networks that were missed using traditional approaches. Read moreOur Projects Search JGI Projects DOE Metrics/Statistics Approved User Proposals Legacy ProjectsGene Atlas of a Nitrogen-Fixing Legume SymbiontUnderstanding how bacterial communities produce biofuels or to remediate contaminated environments is limited due to a lack of knowledge of the functional properties of microbes and their genes. A high-throughput approach will help fill-in these gaps in knowledge, laying a solid foundation for researchers hoping to engineer bacteria with improved or novel traits. Read moreRole of Fungal Endosymbionts in Host ReproductionThis project focuses on endosymbionts and fungal reproduction, expanding knowledge on the complexities of microbiome interactions. These fungi are industrially important because they produce valuable lipid products. Read moreScaling Microbial Traits From Genomes to WatershedsUsing remote sensing, metagenomics and machine learning, researchers are building new ways to predict of how plant and microbial metabolism interact to influence biogeochemistry across watersheds in the headwaters of the Colorado River. Read moreData Tools IMG Genome Portal MycoCosm PhycoCosm Phytozome GOLDComputationally Classifying Fungal LifestylesMachine learning methods were applied on sequenced fungal genomes, generated in part through the 1000 Fungal Genomes Project, to classify them by lifestyles. Read moreHere, There and Everywhere: Large and Giant Viruses Abound GloballyIn Nature, a JGI-led team uncovered a broad diversity of large and giant viruses that belong to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) supergroup. The expansion of the diversity for large and giant viruses offered the researchers insights into how they might interact with their hosts. Read moreExpanding Virophage DiversityResearchers provided a global analysis of the diversity, distribution, and evolution of virophages - and in doing so, increased the number of known high quality virophage genome sequences 10-fold through computational approaches.

Read moreHow to Target a Microbial Needle within a Community HaystackEnabled by the JGI’s Emerging Technologies Opportunity Program, researchers have developed, tested and deployed a pipeline to first target cells from communities of uncultivated microbes, and then efficiently retrieve and characterize their genomes. Read moreNews Publications News Blog Podcasts Publications Scientific Posters Newsletter Logos and Templates PhotosThe More the Merrier: Making the Case for Plant Pan-genomesCrop breeders have harnessed polyploidy to increase fruit and flower size, and confer stress tolerance traits. Using a Brachypodium model system, researchers have sought to learn the origins, evolution and development of plant polyploids. The work recently appeared in Nature Communications. Read morePicking Up Threads of Cotton GenomicsHigh quality genomes of the five major cotton lineages have been assembled by a multi-institutional team and are available for comparative analysis on JGI’s plant data portal Phytozome. “The goal has been for all this new cotton work, and even the original cotton project was to try to bring in molecular methods of breeding into cotton,” said JGI Plant Program head Jeremy Schmutz. Read moreInspiring STEM Careers Through a Hands-on Everglades Microbiome StudyThe pilot project between JGI and a Boca Raton Community High School class in Palm Beach County, Florida has led to a data report published in the journal Environmental Microbiome. The class focused on microbial communities in the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, a 226-square mile area of the northern Everglades.
