JGI Genome Portal

JGI Genome Portal provides unified access to DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) genomic databases and analytical resources for exploration and analysis of genome assemblies, annotations, and comparative genomics supporting bioenergy and environmental research.

Key Features:

• Unified Access: Centralizes metadata on DOE JGI sequencing projects and their current status.
• Data Availability: Includes genome assemblies and annotations for microbes, fungi, plants, and metagenomes.
• Exploration and Comparative Analysis: Supports comparative analysis of genomes using specialized systems designed for each organism class.
• Specialized Analytical Capabilities: Provides specialized analytical capabilities for management and interpretation of genomic data.
• MycoCosm Integration: Integrates the MycoCosm fungal genomics resource (http://jgi.doe.gov/fungi) for fungal genome data and analysis.

Scientific Applications:

• Bioenergy Research: Enables genomic analyses that support development of sustainable bioenergy solutions through study of relevant microbes, plants, and fungi.
• Environmental Genomics: Supports investigation of complex microbial communities and their ecological roles using metagenomes and isolate genomes.

Methodology:

Data management systems handle massive-scale DNA sequencing outputs; specialized analytical capabilities and organism-class-specific comparative analysis systems support genome assembly, annotation, and comparative genomics analyses.
