Starting now!

Nice to meet with a subset of current (& future?) Joint Genome Institute UEC members! If you’re here at #ISME18 and would like to talk about being a JGI user, come find us! With Teresa Pawlowska, Matthias Hess, & Kelly Wrighton (in spirit :)

Haven't had the opportunity to make many posters lately, but was excited to dive back into Inkscape for the Joint Genome Institute annual meeting! Sharing a snapshot of our [soon to be submitted] work on bacterial #networks for anyone who wasn't able to join us #JGI2022

Ronan O'Malley, lead of the Genome Technologies Group, introduces EcoFABs as a new capability at Joint Genome Institute. EcoFABs have many applications and of course can be combined with sequencing. #JGI2022 The Northen Lab Berkeley Lab

Dan Drell: Joint Genome Institute output has increased 30 million fold since 1997 #JGI2022

Beautiful night for a game! #atthecoliseum

3pm PDT, Sept. 22 on streaming.lbl.gov: Join us in cheering on the LBNL BioSci finalists Dr. Elle Barnes Aparajitha (Abhi) Srinivasan and YingWang at the Berkeley Lab Research SLAM! #LabSLAM2022 @LBNLPathways BLPA Susannah Tringe Aindrila The Northen Lab

A billion organisms in 1 gram of soil, a trillion interactions... Dr. Elle Barnes Joint Genome Institute LBNL BioSci kicks off the Berkeley Lab SLAM talking about the "Facebook of the Field." #LabSLAM2022 LBNL Career Pathways BLPA Susannah Tringe

This #PostdocAppreciationWeek I am grateful for my amazing postdocs Dr. Elle Barnes, Shwetha Acharya and Cliff Bueno de Mesquita

A nice SciAm story on our recent wetlands methane work

Exciting work from the Keasling Lab 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ - hearing Qingyun Dan talk about engineering polyketide synthases to make almost anything #ASMicrobe

Thanks Alex and Courtney for the fun running tour of Atlanta! #ASMicrobe

Reminder that the Joint Genome Institute #CommunityScience New Investigator call closes Oct. 4. For investigators and research initiatives new to the JGI. Proposals may include synthetic biology, sequencing and metabolomics. More at jointgeno.me/CSPnewPI

In the chaos of Yr 1 as a prof, I almost forgot to share the latest pub from my postdoc with Susannah Tringe Joint Genome Institute out now in Phytobiomes Journal! We used a massive microbe dataset & network analyses to tease apart what makes sorghum so stress tolerant 🌱 apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PB…

Just Published! Elle Barnes et al. analyzed the core bacterial and archaeal community of the high biomass bioenergy sorghum bicolor genotype, Grassl, grown under nitrogen and water stress. Dr. Elle Barnes Susannah Tringe Joint Genome Institute doi.org/10.1094/PBIOME…
