The JGI at a Glance
Global Users
Each year, the JGI serves over 2,000 users — researchers with accepted project proposals — at all career stages.
A Diversity of Capabilities
With an accepted proposal, JGI Users gain access to deep expertise and a broad toolset.
Data Portals
We generate and provide access to data that support interdisciplinary work on a broad variety of organisms. Each dot in these networks shows a publication that mentions a given data portal, with work that cross-references multiple portals in between respective hubs.
Foundational Work
JGI’s scientific contributions reverberates over time to enable many discoveries. The Soybean genome shown is one example — since the original reference genome, the entire project has directly impacted over 5,000 unique studies. These works have gone on to influence over 100,000 further studies.
