Genomics of Energy & Environment
7th Annual DOE JGI User Meeting

Scientists interested in how genomics applies to bioenergy and environmental issues are invited to attend the annual DOE Joint Genome Institute Genomics of Energy & Environment Meeting. This international gathering of researchers with an interest in sequence-based science offers three days of presentations, tours, workshops, and poster sessions.
