You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The JGI provides users with access, at no cost, to high-throughput genomic and specialized capabilities and data analysis.<ref>((cite web |url=https://jgi.doe.gov/user-programs/ | title=User Programs | website = Joint Genome Institute | access-date = February 20, 2023 ))</ref> Researchers submit proposals to one of the seven JGI user programs, and all proposals are reviewed for scientific merit and relevance to the DOE research mission. If the proposal is approved, the JGI provides the users a number of standard sequencing, synthesis, and metabolomics products.

== Collaborations ==

The JGI collaborates extensively with the [[Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory]] at [[Pacific Northwest National Laboratory]] (PNNL). The two facilities jointly manage the ''Facilities Integrating Collaborations for User Science'' (FICUS) program, designed for researchers who require the capabilities of both user facilities to perform their research. The JGI also performs extensive sequencing on behalf of the 
four DOE Bioenergy Research Centers.<ref>((cite web | url=https://jgi.doe.gov/our-science/doe-bioenergy-research-centers/ | title=DOE Bioenergy Research Centers | website = Joint Genome Institute | access-date=February 20, 2023 ))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=https://genomicscience.energy.gov/bioenergy-research-centers/ | title=Bioenergy Research Centers | website = U.S. Department of Energy | access-date=February 20, 2023))
</ref>

==Leadership==
The Director of JGI since 2017 is Nigel Mouncey.<ref>((cite web | url=https://jgi.doe.gov/about-us/organization/strategic-management/ | title = Strategic Management | website = Joint Genome Institute | access-date = February 20, 2023))</ref> Mouncey also serves as the President of the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB)<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.simbhq.org/about-simb/board-committee-members/ | title=Board Committee Members | website = Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology ))</ref>

==History==
The '''Joint Genome Institute''' ('''JGI''') was created in 1997 to unite the expertise and resources in [[genome]] mapping, [[DNA sequencing]], technology development, and information sciences pioneered at the DOE genome centers at [[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]] (Berkeley Lab), [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] (LLNL) and [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]] (LANL).In 1999, the [[University of California]], which manages the three national labs for the DOE, leased laboratory and office space in a light industrial park in [[Walnut Creek, California]] to consolidate genome research activities. Led by biotechnology industry veteran Nigel Mouncey, who assumed the position of Director in March 2017, the DOE JGI receives its funding from the Office of Biological and Environmental Research in DOE's Office of Science.

Originally established to work on the [[Human Genome Project]]—the JGI generated the complete sequences of Chromosomes 5, 16 and 19—the JGI has since shifted its focus to the non-human components of the biosphere, particularly those relevant to the DOE's science mission. Since 2004, the JGI has been a user facility that advances genomics research in a broad range of disciplines where DNA sequence information is likely to drive scientific discoveries.<ref>((cite web |title=History |url=https://jgi.doe.gov/about-us/history/ |website=Joint Genome Institute |access-date=30 August 2022))</ref>

In February 2004, the JGI launched the Community Sequencing Program (CSP), known as the Community Science Program, which provides the scientific community at large with access to high-throughput, high-quality sequencing, DNA synthesis, metabolomics and analysis capabilities. The projects involve many important multicellular organisms, microbes and communities of microbes called [[metagenome]]s (or microbiomes) related to the DOE mission areas of [[bioenergy]], understanding global cycles such as the [[carbon cycle]], and [[biogeochemistry]] and are chosen primarily based on scientific merit as determined by outside review.<ref>((cite web |title=CSP Overview |url=https://jgi.doe.gov/user-programs/program-info/csp-overview/ |website=Joint Genome Institute))</ref>

==Genome sequencing milestones==

In 2006, the JGI published the genome of the first tree sequenced—the cottonwood ([[Populus|''Populus trichocarpa'']]). 
<ref>((cite web |url=https://jgi.doe.gov/2006-2016-poplar-genome-10-anniversary/| title= The Poplar Genome at 10 | website = Joint Genome Institute| date= 15 September 2016 ))</ref> 
In partnership with other federal institutions and universities, the JGI has also published the genome sequences of sorghum, a candidate feedstock for biofuels and biomanufacturing.<ref>((cite web | url=https://jgi.doe.gov/jgi-at-25-studying-sorghums-survival-skills/ | title= Studying Sorghums Survival Skills | website = Joint Genome Institute | date= 24 June 2022 | access-date=February 20, 2023))</ref>

==Data management systems==

The JGI also supports programs dedicated to functional and evolutionary genomics related to the organisms and environments being sequenced and the development of computational and bioinformatic tools for data management and mining. These genome and metagenome/microbiome analysis systems include Genome Portal, Phytozome, IMG and the Genomes OnLine Database.

The [[Integrated Microbial Genomes System]] (IMG), which provides a framework for comparative analysis of primarily microbial genomes, though the system also supports eukaryotic genomes and environmental samples. Its goal is to facilitate the visualization and exploration of genomes from a functional and evolutionary perspective.
