EurekAlert  December 6, 2019
According to the DOE the rapid development of technologies for high-throughput screening of genomes, proteins, metabolites, and other biological features has generated and continues to generate mountains of data. The research will focus on data from plants and microbes relevant to DOE missions in energy and environment, including laying the scientific groundwork for cost-effective production of biofuels and bioproducts as well as enhancing understanding of the biological dimensions of environmental cleanup, among other topics. It is expected that many of the new software tools and approaches will ultimately be integrated into the DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase an open-source software platform that serves the systems biology research community…read more.
