Tiny Earth plans to sequence hundreds of genomes from antimicrobial-producing soil microbes and subsequently identify novel biosynthetic gene clusters. [Read More]

In this proposal, we plan to sequence the genomes of mutagenized Camelina populations, catalog all of the mutations and make the seed available to researchers to study gene function. [Read More]

An investigation of the effects of temperature stress on the metabolite pools produced and released by three phytoplankton species. [Read More]

A national study to investigate the ecophysiology of deep soil microorganisms and whether deep-rooted switchgrass alters the C processing potential of subsoils. [Read More]

In coastal environments, little is known about the in situ bacterial response to prolonged warming and nutrient limitation, as well as its corresponding biogeochemical impacts from an El Nino. [Read More]

Apomixis, or asexual reproduction through seeds, allows the preservation of hybrid vigor across generations and could have tremendous impact on breeding and seed systems if installed in crops. This proposal seeks to sequence multiple apomict genomes to further enable apomixis gene discovery and comparative genomics within the grass family. [Read More]

The SMARTFARM CSP builds on the ARPA-E Phase I SMARTFARM project, providing a detailed view of the metagenome found in the soil of bioenergy crop production at multiple sites. [Read More]

Understanding which species of mycorrhizal fungi are important for plant health by sequencing their expressed RNA. [Read More]

Establishing a genomic data resource for the broader scientific community to enable natural product (NP) discovery, characterization, and development for a range of associated applications. [Read More]
