Genomics:GTL Roadmap (2005)
UPDATES:
There have been several updates to information contained in the 2005 Roadmap. The most recent program description is the 2008 GTL
Strategic Plan.
The Genomics:GTL Roadmap (August 2005) is an aggressive systems microbiology
plan to accelerate the scientific discovery needed to support the development
of
practical
applications
for DOE energy and environmental missions. The primary goal of the program
is to achieve a predictive understanding of the capabilities of microbes
and microbial communities for applications in energy, remediation, and global
carbon cycling and sequestration. For a quick overview, see the Frontmatter
handout (98 kb).
In 2006, the NAS reviewed the GTL program. As a result of this NAS review, the plan for GTL facilities outlined in the 2005 Roadmap was revised.
