Every year, the JGI sequences around 35,000 samples — from plants, algae, bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses — to support scientists around the world.

So today, Chris Daum walks through the JGI’s sequencing pipeline, where there are freezers with names — but not doors — and robots handle a bunch of benchwork.Links from this episode:Find all episode transcripts on our websiteSubmit a proposal to work with the JGIWebinar: Long-read sequencing for metagenomics and DNA modification detectionOur contact info:Twitter: @JGIEmail: jgi-comms at lbl dot govGenome Insider is a production of the Joint Genome Institute. Sound Effects Credits: George Hopkins “Mechanical keyboard typing”
