WGS sequencing
The <a href="http://www.jgi.doe.gov">Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI)</a> is sequencing the genome of the <i>Rhodotorula graminis</i> strain WP1 using whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing. The WP1 strain was one of the first endophytic yeast strains isolated from a <i>Populus</i> tree and has potential applications for bioenergy production.
