Joint Genome Institute (JGI)

The Joint Genome Institute (JGI) is a research facility that sequences and studies the DNA of various organisms, such as plants, microbes, and fungi. By analyzing these genetic materials, scientists gain insights into how different living things function, adapt, and interact with their environments. This work supports advancements in fields like medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation. JGI collaborates with researchers worldwide to generate genomic data that helps solve scientific problems, develop new technologies, and promote sustainable solutions for society.
