Plant Genome Comparative Genome Sequencing Program
Date: April 6, 2006

A new funding opportunity, the Plant Genome Comparative Genome Sequencing Program, has been announced. The goal is to support the development of genome sequence resources to contribute to a conceptual framework for the interpretation of the structure, function and evolution of genomes of economically important plants. Projects are solicited that focus on a biological question that is enabled by the proposed sequence resources and was unanswerable with existing resources. Send inquiries to cswg@nsf.gov.
