Algal Genomics: The Digest’s 2019 Multi-Slide Guide to Joint Genome Institute

Joint Genome Institute’s mission is to advance genomics in support of the U.S. Department of Energy missions related to clean energy generation and environmental characterization and cleanup. Supported by the DOE Office of Science, the JGI unites the expertise at Berkeley Lab, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. The facility provides integrated high-throughput sequencing, DNA design and synthesis, metabolomics and computational analysis that enable systems-based scientific approaches to these challenges.

Igor Grigoriev, Program Head at the Joint Genome Institute and Senior Scientist at Berkeley Lab gave this illuminating overview of the various resources and opportunities there are for algal genomics at JGI like sequencing, DNA synthesis, metabolomics, JGI calls for proposals, and more, at ABLC Global 2018 in San Francisco
