Joint Genome Institute to Tackle 44 Sequencing Projects in 2009, Focused on Bioenergy and Environmental Applications

Posted on July 02, 2008

Botryococcus braunii, subject of one of the sequencing projects, is a microalga that produces long-chain hydrocarbons. Source: NIESThe US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) will initiate 44 new DNA sequencing projects in 2009, with continued focus on the JGI's mission areas: bioremediation, and global carbon cycling. The 44 projects, culled from nearly 150 proposals received through the Community Sequencing Program (CSP), represent more 60 billion nucleotides of data to be generated through this biodiversity sampling campaign roughly the equivalent of 20 human genomes....
