Back in January we wrote to you about preparing a proposal for the National Science Foundation. Now, we have some encouraging news to share. Don’t break out the champagne yet though. Last month we ...
It's been a rainy winter in the Mojave, and it's been mighty quiet around the ol' Joshua Tree Genome Project Page. But we're not just huddled up around the fire. January means grant proposal deadli...
Earlier this fall we were contacted by Great Big Story about the prospects of producing a short documentary describing the project. In September Todd Esque and I shot two days in the field with our...
The Joshua tree genome project is excited to announce a new partnership with The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. Through a very generous gift from The Living Desert, we will use DoveTail Genomics Hi...
If you’ve ever sat under a flowering Joshua tree on a spring afternoon, you’ve probably noticed a peculiar odor. “What … is … that?” A little investigation reveals that the odor is coming from th...
Come learn about Joshua Tree Natural History, Conservation Biology, and participate in field research examining the effects of climate change on these ancient desert icons.Join us f...
This summer we started the process of decoding the genome.The first step in sequencing a genome – before the fancy chemistry starts, and before the endless computation – is simply to get DNA from ...
Hey Joshua Tree Genome Project Fans, It's almost Easter, and that means it is time for our annual pilgrimage to the Joshua trees. This year we'll be spending time at the Arizona Joshua Tree Forest ...
