Each year, the JGI accepts proposals for state-of-the-art functional genomics research from potential users who need help translating genomic information into biological function. Through our CSP Functional Genomics call, we look for projects that will leverage the JGI’s DNA synthesis and omics capabilities to enhance understanding of gene and genome function.
Below find a list of the six researchers accepted for 2023. Proposals are accepted year-round; the next deadline is Jan. 29, 2024.
