complete sequences of Chromosomes 5, 16 and 19--the JGI has since shifted its focus to the non-human components of the biosphere, particularly those relevant to the DOE's science mission. Since 2004, the JGI has been a user facility that advances genomics research in a broad range of disciplines where DNA sequence information is likely to drive scientific discoveries.

In February 2004, the JGI launched the Community Sequencing Program (CSP), known as the Community Science Program, which provides the scientific community at large with
