JGI announces final round of 2022 Functional Genomics awardees
February 9, 2023
Twice 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 the CSP Functional Genomics call, the JGI looks for projects that will leverage its DNA synthesis and omics capabilities to enhance understanding of gene and genome function.
Below find a list of the final six researchers accepted for 2022. Proposals are accepted year-round.
