TIGR has partnered with MdBio, Inc. and the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI) to launch the MdBioLab in 2003, a mobile laboratory designed to enhance bioscience curricula for high school students and their teachers throughout the state of Maryland.
TIGR announces the first release of data from genome sequencing of Toxoplasma gondii, an important eukaryotic parasite associated with AIDS.
TIGR's founder and its Board chairman, J. Craig Venter, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of his "distinguished and continuing achievements in original research."

Sampling Blooms in Cabo Corrientes
Just south of Puerto Vallarta is Cabo Corrientes, and our satellite data indicate a large bloom extending 25 miles off the coast. As we enter the bloom the water turns an intense green, and there are numerous fish feeding in the area. Sampling conditions are ideal: bright sunshine, light...
Puerto Vallarta: Investigating the Influence of Coastal Development
Sampling today starts before sunrise when we arrive at Puerto Vallarta. In conjunction with our Mexican collaborators, we are investigating the influence of coastal development, particularly intensive tourism, on marine microbiota, so we take a sample of surface water in Banderas Bay and leave...
Strong Winds
Winds have picked up considerably in the last 36 hours, and tonight they are blowing in the 25 to 30 knot range, below gale force but still too strong to safely deploy our instrumentation. We sail past the plankton bloom near Cedros Island without stopping, but you can see the sparkle of the...
Blooms and Clear Skies
We left under clear skies and light winds, and within hours of heading out, we were sampling the waters off of the Coronado Islands near the US/Mexican border and plotting our sampling schedule for the next few days. The team passed around the latest satellite data from SeaWiFS, NASA’s global...
