The Genomics:GTL Program abstracts and posters are organized according to the Milestones set forth in the 2005 GTL Roadmap and as shown below. Some of the research projects are pilots or proof-of-principle studies for sysems biology, technology and methods development, and computing.

Abstracts associated with the Metabolic Engineering Working Group (MEWG) are identified as such and intermixed with GTL abstracts in relevant categories.

Abstracts from the Plant Feedstock Genomics Joint Program (PFGJG) are in their own subsection beginning on page 201.Genomics:GTL Overarching Scientific Goal

Achieve a predictive, systems-level understanding of biological systems to help enable biobased solutions to DOE mission challenges.
