The Genomic Science Program (formerly Genomes to Life) uses microbial and plant genomic data, high-throughput analytical technologies, and modeling and simulationto develop a predictive understanding of biological systems behavior relevant to solving energy and environmental challenges including bioenergy production, environmental remediation, and climate stabilization.

This is the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Human Genome Project (HGP) archive. Completed in 2003, the HGP was a 13-year project coordinated by the DOE and the National Institutes of Health to sequence the 3 billion basepairs that make up human DNA.

This is the archive site of the DOE's Microbial Genome Program (MGP). The MGP was begun in 1994 as a spinoff from the HGP. The program sequenced the genomes of a number of nonpathogenic microbes useful in solving DOE's mission challenges in environmental-waste cleanup, energy production, carbon cycling, and biotechnology.
