Description
Biological
and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for
research of interest to the Genomic Science Program (http://genomicscience.energy.gov)
in the following research areas: a) Integrating large-scale systems biology
data to model, design, and engineer microbial systems for the production of
biofuels and bioproducts: Interdisciplinary
approaches to develop innovative, high-throughput modeling, genome-wide design
and editing, and engineering technologies for a broad range of microbes
relevant for the production of biofuels and bioproducts
from biomass. b) Plant systems design for bioenergy: To develop novel
technologies for genome-scale engineering to re-design bioenergy crops that can
grow in marginal environments while producing high yield of biomass that can be
easily converted to biofuels and bioproducts.
Applications should include strategies to address biocontainment, minimizing
risks of potential release of engineered organisms into the environment or
other unintended outcomes.
