Taking advantage of massive-scale sequencing and data analysis capabilities, the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute will serve up trillions of nucleotides of information from newly-selected projects geared to feed the data-hungry worldwide research community. The total allocation for the 2012 Community Sequencing Program portfolio will exceed 30 trillion bases (terabases), a 100-fold increase compared with just two years ago, when just a third of a terabase was allocated to more than 70 projects.
