n OSTP blogpost on the G-8 Open Ag Data conference highlighted iPlant as an example of "some excellent work that’s already underway and making positive change in the Open Ag Data arena." Correction: alignment (not sequencing!) to bovine genome in 8 hrs!
Using iPlant compute power, iPlant collaborator Eric Lyons led the comparative analysis of the bladderwort genome to unravel its complex evolutionary history. His research team provided the analytical software, CoGe, which is Powered by iPlant, for this task.
