Computational Biology and Bioinformatic Methods to Enable a Systems Biology Knowledgebase

archived

The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) advances world-class biological and environmental research and provides scientific facilities to support DOE missions in scientific discovery and innovation, energy security, and environmental responsibility. BER hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for potential funding of computational biology and bioinformatic methods and analytics to enable the planned Systems Biology Knowledgebase. The goal of systems biology is to understand living systems, a simple microbe or a complex ecosystem, so well that we can develop predictive, computational models of the systems that ¿behave¿ the same way as the living system. Such predictive models would enable scientists to accurately predict an organism¿s or a more complex system¿s behavior.
