Sequencing proposal for JGI funded

We have just received news that our proposal to the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute (JGI), "Sequencing the genomes of six novel denitrifying bacterial isolates from the uranium and nitrate contaminated subsurface at the U.S. DOE Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Center (OR-IFRC)," has been funded and sequencing will begin over the next 6 months.

The PI on the project, Stefan Green, has already submitted extracted DNA to the JGI for sequencing!

Very exciting news!
