New research shows methanogenesis is not limited to Euryarchaeota. Research of these newly found methanogens will continue with DOE support. [Read More]

These projects include cutting-edge research into microbial communities — from freshwater estuaries reshaped by dam removal to Antarctica’s photosynthetic mats — to reveal how these systems adapt and contribute to global biogeochemical cycles. [Read More]

Simon Roux was selected as the 2025 recipient of the ASM Microbiome Data Prize. He will be recognized at the 2025 ASM Microbe Meeting. [Read More]

The JGI accepted proposals for state-of-the-art functional genomics research from nine reseachers who translate genomic information into biological function. [Read More]

By studying the structure and function of a cyanobacterial protein, researchers have new insights into how these ocean photosynthesizers cycle carbon in changing conditions. [Read More]

The JGI’s latest 5-Year Strategic Plan aligns with broader national efforts to promote and stimulate a bioeconomy. [Read More]

Researchers have leveraged data from the 1000 Fungal Genomes project to form new connections between fungal guilds, genes and function.[Read More]

Researchers looked at plant-fungi interactions in one of the first cross-kingdom spatially-resolved transcriptomics studies to date. [Read More]

Microbial ecologist and JGI user Trina McMahon has been sampling microbes for over 20 years; the metagenomes from this sample set was the largest project the JGI had ever put together. [Read More]

Building off JGI and KBase data resources, researchers developed an interactive and comprehensive database of fermentative microbes. [Read More]
