Program Milestones
The technical strategy for timely achievement of GTL's systems-level goals rests on three major complementary milestones. Pursued simultaneously in a coordinated way, the milestones establish capabilities and concepts that are a starting point and should evolve along with technical progress.
These milestones are
- 1. Develop Techniques to Determine the Genome Structure and Functional Potential of Microbes and Microbial Communities
- 2. Develop Methods and Concepts Needed to Achieve a Systems-Level Understanding of Microbial Cell and Community Function, Regulation, and Dynamics
- 3. Develop the Knowledgebase, Computational Methods, and Capabilities to Advance Understanding and Prediction of Complex Biological Systems
