Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) was established in 1997 to consolidate the department's programs and resources in DNA sequencing, informatics, and technology development. Soon after, the University of California, which manages the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where JGI was first situated, leased lab and office space in nearby Walnut Creek to house JGI activities. The early focus for JGI was the Human Genome Project. After its scientists completed their sequencing of three human chromosomes, however, JGI broadened its mandate in 2004 to become a national user facility, which now boasts thousands of users worldwide.
