Sandia researchers and others at the University of New Mexico (UNM), the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), Novozymes and North Carolina State University's Center for Integrated Fungal Research (NCSU-CIFR) have received a DNA sequencing award from the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) to study microbial genes in arid grasslands.
The research combines interests in fundamental microbial ecology with DOE goals to exploit microbes in the production of biofuels.
"This award positions a very talented team to collaboratively apply DOE's unique facilities in genomics and systems biology to the important challenge of ...
