New Lineages of Life
Studying microbial and viral diversity through genomics, cultivation, and computational analysis
Our Mission
The New Lineages of Life (NeLLi) Group at the DOE Joint Genome Institute studies understudied microbes and viruses in environmental and host-associated systems. We combine sequencing, cultivation, and computational analysis to characterize genome diversity, microbial interactions, and applications in biosurveillance.
