Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

The Dept. of Energy Joint Genome Institute is a genomics user facility supporting DOE mission science in the areas of Bioenergy, Carbon Cycling, and Biogeochemistry. The Plant Program at the JGI applies genomic, analytical, computational and informatics platforms and methods to:1. Understand and accelerate the improvement (domestication) of bioenergy crops2. Characterize and moderate plant response to climate change3. Use comparative genomics to identify constrained elements and infer gene function4. Build high quality genomic resource platforms of JGI Plant Flagship genomes for functional and experimental work5. Expand functional genomic resources for Plant Flagship genomes
