The survival secrets of Antarctic black fungi
Black fungi are microscopic and mighty. They survive everywhere from Antarctica to Joshua Tree National Park, despite extremely harsh conditions — and their survival secrets could one day help other organisms survive hotter, drier climates. So University of Tuscia researchers Laura Selbmann and Claudia Coleine are working with scientists from around the world — and the JGI — to understand them better. Check out the latest episode of Genome Insider to learn more!
JGI@25: Strengthening Soybean

Recently, we caught up with Gary Stacey of University of Missouri, Sebastien Duplessis of INRAE and Peter van Esse of the Sainsbury Laboratory to discuss the impact of the original soybean genome on fighting Asian Soybean Rust. Learn more on our website!

Active Proposal Calls
Interested in working with the JGI? You can find details about all of our proposal calls here. 

We are currently reviewing Functional Genomics proposals submitted to our Community Science Program. The Functional Genomics call reviews proposals twice each year; the next deadline is Jan. 23, 2023. 

Next month, JGI will be reviewing New Investigator proposals submitted to our Community Science Program. New Investigator proposals are also reviewed twice annually, with the next deadline March 3, 2023.
