Joint Genome Institute

The Joint Genome Institute (JGI) is a research facility that specializes in decoding the DNA of plants, microbes, and other organisms. By sequencing genomes—the complete set of genetic instructions—they help scientists understand how organisms grow, survive, and interact with their environments. This knowledge supports innovations in medicine, agriculture, clean energy, and environmental conservation. The JGI collaborates with researchers worldwide to provide advanced DNA sequencing and analysis services, accelerating scientific discovery and practical applications across various fields.
