Genomes
of Tiny Microbes
Yield Climate Change Clues |
|
|
By analyzing the genomes of several microscopic ocean-dwelling
organisms sequenced at the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Joint Genome Institute (JGI), scientists are gaining new insights
into how the planet’s oceans affect its climate. Comparative
studies of four types of cyanobacteria -- "photosynthetic"
microbes that derive energy from sunlight, just like plants
– were published recently on the websites of the journals
Nature and Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences. Three of the microbes – two strains of Prochlorococcus
and one of Synechococcus -- were among the first organisms
to have their DNA sequenced at JGI in the late 1990s, and are
the first ocean bacteria to be sequenced. Full
story. |

A
two-month-long competition is running to test the detective
skills of physicists who will grapple with data from
the next generation of particle accelerators, such as
the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which, beginning in
2007, will fire beams of protons in opposite directions
down its tunnels, and when two collide, their energy
will be ejected in a spray of new particles. Studying
the debris from such collisions has helped physicists
to piece together the rules of the subatomic world.
But "the LHC opens up a new energy regime, so you
are never sure what you might find" says Berkeley
Lab’s Ian Hinchliffe, one of the competition's
organizers. Full

Building
90 Walkway
Will Close for Repair
Carpenters
will begin repairing the walkway from the Building 90
loading
dock up to Chamberlain Rd. starting on Tuesday, Aug.
19. The work is expected to take about four weeks to
complete. During construction, the walkway will be closed
to pedestrian traffic, and signage will inform those
in the area of alternate routes. For more information,
call the Facilities Carpenter Shop at x7334 or x6022.
