However, he says, the effort remains laborious for now, because there is no single repository of metagenome data. (sciencemag.org)
His group also works with NASA to build integrated molecular portraits of genomes, epigenomes, transcriptomes, and metagenomes for astronauts, which help establish the molecular foundations and genetic defenses for enabling long - term human spaceflight. (sciencemag.org)
Scientists compiled the genetic data previously through the Great Prairie Soil Metagenome Grand Challenge Initiative at the Joint Genome Institute, a DOE Office of Science User Facility. (pnnl.gov)
