UC San Diego Makes Venter Institute's Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) Expedition Microbial Metagenomic Data and Computational Tools Available to Scientists Worldwide

San Diego, CA and Washington, D.C., March 13, 2007 -- Scientists and engineers at the University of California, San Diego and the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) have flipped the virtual switch on the first cyberinfrastructure customized to serve the marine microbial metagenomics community.  At the heart of the cyberinfrastructure is a new, high-performance computer and storage complex funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and located in UC San Diego's Atkinson Hall, headquarters of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), a partnership of UC San Diego and UC Irvine.

More than Six Million New Genes, Thousands of New Protein Families, and Incredible Degree of Microbial Diversity Discovered from

Unprecedented amount of data deposited in CAMERA database; features enhanced tools to visualize and analyze metagenomic data

Rockville, MD, March 13, 2007 -- Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) today announced the publication of several studies from the Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling Expedition (GOS) in PLoS Biology (www.plosbiology.org) detailing the discovery of millions of new genes, thousands of new protein families and specifically the characterization of thousands of new protein kinases from ocean microbes using whole environment shotgun sequencing and new computational tools. Researchers believe these data will lead to better understanding of key biological processes which could eventually offer new ideas for alternative energy production and could offer solutions to deal with climate change and other environmental issues.

Scripps, Venter Center, UCSD Hope to Build New Lab to Study Oceanographic Metagenomics

New York, November 15, 2006 (GenomeWeb News) - The Scripps Institution for Oceanography hopes to expand its partnership with the J. Craig Venter Institute and the University of California, San Diego, by building a new lab to study marine metagenomics, a Scripps researcher told GenomeWeb News this week.

John Orcutt said UCSD's Board of Regents will probably consider the project sometime in the middle of 2007.

Futures in Biotech 9: Ed Delong on Metagenomics

November 23, 2007-- Our guest, Dr. Ed Delong, studies complex microbial communities in the Pacific ocean off the coast of Hawaii. In our discussion, he explains how genomics not only reveals important details on the nature of these marine microbes, but can also uncover genetic, biochemical, and even metabolic information with great potential for the development of new technologies, providing novel building blocks for synthetic biologists or genetic engineers. While seeking a better understanding of life in the oceans, Dr.

CAMERA Beta Release 0.7 to Debut January 23!

La Jolla, California, January 15, 2007 --  The first public release of the CAMERA system is slated for January 23. The primary goal of CAMERA, the Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis, is to provide the scientific community with metagenomics data and software analysis tools.
