| Description | The DOE Joint Genome Institute was created in 1997 to unite the expertise and resources in DNA sequencing, informatics, and technology development pioneered in genome centers at several DOE National Laboratories. DOE JGI was the first to publish the sequence analysis of the target chromosomes 5, 16, and 19, in the journal Nature. Following this accomplishment, the DOE JGI went on to advance basic science by sequencing scores of microbial species as well as several model organisms and contributing this information freely to the public databases. The DOE JGI Production Genomics Facility became a national user facility in 2004. The vast majority of JGI sequencing is conducted under the auspices of the Community Sequencing Program (CSP), surveying the biosphere to characterize organisms relevant to the DOE science mission areas of bioenergy, global carbon cycling, and biogeochemistry. The DOE JGI’s largest customers are the DOE Bioenergy Research Centers (BRCs), which were launched in 2007 to accelerate basic research in the development of next generation cellulosic biofuels. The DOE JGI is enormously productive, not only in terms of generation of DNA sequence data (in October 2008 alone, over 20 billion nucleotides, or the equivalent of over six human genomes) but also with respect to generating high-profile publications. Over the last three years, DOE JGI has played a role and shared co-authorship in a total of 234 peer-reviewed publications. This collection of more than 25 posters contain highly detailed and colorful presentations of scientific and technical information. A sampling of titles includes:
