DOE Joint Genome Institute Genome Portal

DOE Joint Genome Institute Genome Portal provides centralized access to JGI genomic datasets and computational analyses for bioenergy and environmental genomics, including genome assemblies, annotations, and the MycoCosm fungal genomics resource.

Key Features:

• Unified Access Point: Aggregates JGI genomic databases, sequencing project records, and associated metadata.
• Data Management Systems: Scalable data management systems for storing and managing tens of trillions of bases of DNA sequence data.
• Specialized Analytical Capabilities: Analytical tools tailored to microbes, fungi, plants, and metagenomes, including functional annotation and comparative genomics.
• Interactive Exploration: Supports interactive analysis and comparison of genome assemblies and annotations.
• MycoCosm Integration: Integrates the MycoCosm fungal genomics resource for fungal genome analyses.

Scientific Applications:

• Microbial metabolism: Enables analysis of microbial genomes and metagenomes to investigate metabolic pathways relevant to bioenergy and environmental processes.
• Plant genetics: Supports genomic investigations of plants for traits and genetic variation relevant to bioenergy research.
• Ecosystem dynamics: Facilitates study of community composition and functional potential using metagenomic and genomic data to address environmental questions.
• Comparative genomics: Provides data and tools for comparative analyses across microbes, fungi, plants, and other sequenced organisms.
• Functional annotation: Enables generation and refinement of genome annotations to assign gene functions and biological roles.
• Evolutionary studies: Supports evolutionary analyses across diverse biological kingdoms using assembled genomes and annotations.

Methodology:

Massive-scale DNA sequencing combined with scalable data management and high-throughput analysis to process and analyze tens of trillions of bases.
