Realizing the Potential of the Genome Revolution: The Genomes to Life Program
Marvin E. Frazier,1Gary M. Johnson,2David G. Thomassen,1*Carl E. Oliver,2Aristides Patrinos1
The systems biology revolution is proceeding along
multiple pathways as different science agencies and the private sectorhave adopted strategies suited to their particular needs and cultures.To meet this challenge, the U.S. Department of Energy has developedthe
Genomes to Life (GTL) program. A central focus of GTL is environmentalmicrobial biology as a way to approach global environmental problems,and its key goal is to achieve, over the next 10 to 20 years,a basic
understanding of thousands of microbes and microbial systemsin their
native environments. This focus demands that we addresshuge gaps in
knowledge, technology, computing, data storage andmanipulation, and
systems-level integration.
