Stable isotopologes of methane and carbon dioxide can be powerful tracers for identifying the sources of these greenhouse gases. Airborne surveys of isotopologes of these greenhouse gases made at sufficiently high precision and speed will be an invaluable tool in the studies of Arctic climate change and terrestrial carbon cycle. Instruments capable of operating on airborne platforms such as UAV’ ...

DOE’s Genomic Science program supports research aimed at identifying the fundamental principles that drive biological systems relevant to DOE missions in energy, climate, and the environment. These principles guide the translation of the genetic code into functional proteins and the metabolic/regulatory networks underlying the systems biology of plants, microbes, and communities. Advancing funda ...

With the advent of faster and cheaper genomic sequencing technologies, the microbial, plant and metagenomics communities will see an order of magnitude increase in sequencing DNA and RNA to infer microbial, plant and community information. Applications are sought in the following areas:High throughput experimental methods for functional assignment/annotation of genes andgenomes of relevance to the ...

The Kbase is in a stage of active development and could benefit from complementing software tools. These can include but are not limited to tools for:Development or adaptation of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) tointegrate together different types of experimental biological data such as proteomics,transcriptomics, flux and network data with genomic data.Software to automatically e ...

Grant applications are sought to develop high-throughput phenotyping methods for plants, particularly non-destructive methods, that target biochemical, physiological, and structural processes and tissues relevant to bioenergy production such as the plant cell wall. Methods should be applicable to the greenhouse or field studies. Radionuclide imaging approaches are excluded from this call.Questions ...

New demands for technologies are needed to meet the research needs for greater understanding of the dynamical molecular organization and function of microbial systems. Achieving an understanding of the dynamic detection and measurements of sub-attomole concentrations (perhaps down to a single protein molecule or metabolite) will enable a systems level understand of metabolic processes. Grant appli ...

The Radiochemistry and Imaging Instrumentation Program advances the DOE mission by supporting radiochemistry and radionuclide imaging research into the real-time visualization of dynamic biological processes in energy and environmentally-relevant contexts. In particular, the program supports research that could be beneficial for metabolic imaging in living systems, including plants and microbial-c ...

Grant applications are sought in three new areas of radiochemistry: (1) development of new chemical reactions to overcome the synthetic constraints of working with radioisotopes at high specific activity, in order to provide more generally applicable radiolabeling techniques; (2) construction of nanoparticle platforms, forincorporation of one or more imaging agents and targeting moieties; and (3) ...
