The JGI's latest 5-Year Strategic Plan aligns with broader national efforts to promote and stimulate a bioeconomy.
Researchers have leveraged data from the 1000 Fungal Genomes project to form new connections between fungal guilds, genes and function.

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.

Building off JGI and KBase data resources, researchers developed an interactive and comprehensive database of fermentative microbes.
Here are the 21 researchers whose proposals were accepted for 2024 through the New Investigator call under our Community Science Program.
