The JGI Informatics department launched http://my.jgi.doe.gov, aka MyJGI, in October of 2007. This new web site provides information and tools useful to collaborators with sequencing projects at JGI. The site currently features three main areas: - General Info: http://my.jgi.doe.gov/general - Sample Info: https://my.jgi.doe.gov/csi - Status Reporter: https://www.jgi.doe.gov/collaborators/status.php The General Info area provides useful information to help users get started on a project with JGI, recommended protocols, JGI policies, and other resources. The Getting Started page offers step-by-step instructions for initiating a project. The protocols offer successful examples for preparing samples or libraries to be sent to the JGI. JGI's policies on project scheduling, finishing, publication, and data release are detailed in this area, and a sample user agreement is available for download.
