Title :

DOE Strengths and Capabilities

Description :

This image portrays some of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) strengths and capabilites that will be applied to the Genomics:GTL Program. Building on the successes of the Human Genome Project, DOE has initiated an ambitious program to achieve the most far-reaching of all biological goals: a fundamental, comprehensive, and systematic understanding of life. DOE's Genomics:GTL program will make important contributions in the quest to venture beyond characterizing such individual life components as genes and other DNA sequences toward a more comprehensive, integrated view of biology at a whole-systems level. The DOE offices of Biological and Environmental Research and Advanced Scientific Computing Research have formed a strategic alliance to meet this grand challenge. The plan for the program is to use DNA sequences from microbes and other organisms as starting points for systematically tackling questions about the essential processes of living systems. Advanced technological and computational resources will help to identify and understand the underlying mechanisms that enable organisms to develop, survive, carry out their normal functions, and reproduce under myriad environmental conditions. This approach ultimately will foster an integrated and predictive understanding of biological systems. The applications of this level of knowledge will be extraordinary and will help DOE fulfill its broad missions in energy and environmental remediation.
