Holiday Art
In a relatively unknown place, on the 3rd floor of JCVI in Rockville, MD, is a small fungal room where art meets science (and of course where all our fungal research takes place). Fungus often gets such a bad reputation for being gross and somewhat ‘standard’. We fungal folks know better...
Insights gained from influenza genomic sequence data: frequent intrasubtype reassortment
Studies using whole genomic influenza sequence data produced by the Influenza Genome Sequencing Project (IGSP) have focused mainly on influenza evolution and epidemiology. For instance, IGSP data has provided important insight into the frequency of intrasubtype reassortment (in which...

Scientist Spotlight: Meet Vanessa Hayes
Geneticist Vanessa Hayes does not think small nor move slowly—from completing her post doc in six months (the US National average is 3 to 7 years) to completing the first South African Genome Project in 2010 with her goal set on defining the extent of human diversity in all populations, she...
Lucene Revolution Conference 2010
I arrived late in Boston after my plane from Washington DC was delayed. On the agenda - the next four days the Lucene Revolution conference and a Solr application development workshop organized by Lucid Imagination. The conference promised a unique venue (the first of its kind in the US) to...
French Road Sampling Trip Saves Sorcerer II From More Rough Weather!
September 28th 2010 With one last sample to collect and the weather still rough in the Mediterranean, we made the decision to make the Banyuls sample a road sampling trip. So Jeremy and I loaded up a rental car with carboys and headed out at 5 am to drive the 125 miles (200km) to...
A Week Long Beat Down At Sea, All In The Name Of Science!
September 27th 2010 We just arrived in Barcelona after 7 very rough days at sea! Lots and lots of rolling around, very little sleep, high seas and strong winds! We have seen worse weather in the past, but normally it only last a day or two…this lasted 7 days straight. The constant beating...
Go To Greece!
September 20th 2010 We arrived in Crete today, bringing our Greek sampling leg to an end. We were very lucky to be able to sail in Greek waters, this place is truly beautiful. Not only did we get to see the natural beauty of Greece, but our hosts introduced us to the rich culture and...
