There was also a bit of a stir at the Open Data and Software BoF which centers around the ISCB’s statement about guidelines for open source software (you should provide feedback if you feel strongly about this and are an ISCB member: policy< -at->iscb.org). The discussion was prompted in part because Mike [...]
Eucalyptus is an utilitarian tree, so it’s no surprise that several organizations are interested in genetically engineering it. Indeed, its genome sequence is slated for release, which should facilitate a GE market for the species. One company in particular – ArborGen (they have a very interesting mission statement) – is using genetic engineering, cloning and classic hybridization techniques to make a cold tolerant [...] Several more fungi are on the docket for sequencing at JGI through their community sequencing program. This includes
The Broad Institute has made available additional genomes of strains of Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii. There are now genome sequences for 4 strains of C. immitis sequenced and 3 strains of C. posadasii including the C735 strain from the JCVI/TIGR. including the reference strain RS that is assembled into 7 supercontigs (there are probably 5 chromosomes) and annotated with ~10,000 genes.
