Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Microbial Genomics: Functional Genomics of Microorganisms

The Functional Genomics program element of the Microbial Genomics Program increases the understanding of the biological role of gene sequences in agriculturally important microorganisms and links these sequences to physiological functions or agricultural and food processes involving microbes. The goal of the program is to support large-scale functional analysis of genomic sequences of agriculturally relevant microbes. This program makes both single function research and education awards.
