[ {"osti_id":"1165862","title":"A Taste of Algal Genomes from the Joint Genome Institute","report_number":"LBNL-6827E","product_type":"Conference","language":"English","country_publication":"United States","relation":"Conference: Phycological Society of America Annual Meeting, Charleston, South Carolina","description":"Algae play profound roles in aquatic food chains and the carbon cycle, can impose health and economic costs through toxic blooms, provide models for the study of symbiosis, photosynthesis, and eukaryotic evolution, and are candidate sources for bio-fuels; all of these research areas are part of the mission of DOE\'s Joint Genome Institute (JGI). To date JGI has sequenced, assembled, annotated, and released to the public the genomes of 18 species and strains of algae, sampling almost all of the major clades of photosynthetic eukaryotes. With more algal genomes currently undergoing analysis, JGI continues its commitment to driving forward basic and applied algal science. Among these ongoing projects are the pan-genome of the dominant coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi, the interrelationships between the 4 genomes in the nucleomorph-containing Bigelowiella natans and Guillardia theta, and the search for symbiosis genes of lichens.","publication_date":"2012-06-17T00:00:00Z","entry_date":"2014-12-24T00:00:00Z","format":"Medium: ED","authors":["Kuo, Alan","Grigoriev, Igor"],"subjects":["59 BASIC BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES"],"doe_contract_number":"DE-AC02-05CH11231","orgs_sponsor":[{"name":"USDOE Office of Science (SC)"}],"sponsor_orgs":["USDOE Office of Science (SC)"],"orgs_research":[{"lng":"37.875","identifiers":[{"identifier":["grid.184769.5"],"type":"grid"},{"identifier":["0000 0001 2231 4551"],"type":"isni"},{"identifier":["100006235"],"type":"fundref"},{"identifier":["62214"],"type":"orgref"},{"identifier":["https://ror.org/02jbv0t02"],"type":"ror"},{"identifier":["Q1133630"],"type":"wikidata"},{"identifier":["5327684"],"type":"geonames_city_id"}],"name":"Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory","lat":"-122.246002"}],"research_orgs":["Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
