New
Technique Helps
Decode Human Genome
Scientists
with the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and Berkeley Lab have
developed a technique for deciphering the human genome. The
technique enables scientists to compare DNA sequences in the
human genome with sequences in the genomes of non-human primates.
"Now that the sequence of the human genome has almost
been completed, the next challenge will be the development
of a vocabulary to read and interpret that sequence,"
says Berkeley Lab’s Edward Rubin, who led the
development of the technique. Full
story. |

Carbon
Capture, Storage
Plan Announced by DOE
Energy
Secretary Spencer Abraham and Under Secretary of State for Global
Affairs Paula Dobriansky announced yesterday that the United States
is taking the lead in forming an ambitious new international effort
to advance carbon capture and storage technology as a way to reduce
greenhouse emissions. Abraham said the United States will lead a
$1 billion, public-private effort to construct the world's first
fossil fuel, pollution-free power plant. Full

Lab
Validating Cell Phone Reimbursements
While
Lab-issued cellular and desktop phones are intended for Lab-related
use, employees are permitted to use them for limited personal
matters. As part of an overall review process many cell phone
users are being asked to validate their phone bills, and, if
they have not done so previously, reimburse Berkeley Lab for
calls not covered by Lab policy. Find out more about cell phone
use here. |

Bancroft
Bus Route
Gets
New Stops
A
Berkeley Lab bus will stop at the West Circle entrance
to the Berkeley campus beginning Monday, following the
end today of a trial period of van service. The Bancroft
bus, which runs every 30 minutes, will substitute an
Oxford Street route, including the campus stop, for
the former BART station route down Center Street. The
new Bancroft run will also service the south end of
the Lab. For details, click here.
