At PNNL, AI Is Accelerating the U.S. Bioeconomy
Predicting how organisms’ characteristics respond to not only their genes, but also their environments (a nascent field called predictive phenomics), is extraordinarily challenging. Researchers at PNNL are using AI to tackle that challenge.
Disturbed Sleep Cycle Propels Cyanobacteria Into Surprising Burst of Productivity
Circadian rhythms of blue-green microbes offer new window into predictive phenomics—how to predict and control the traits of an organism.
PNNL Hosts Inaugural Conference on Predictive Phenomics
PNNL is hosting a scientific conference focused directly on understanding and predicting the collection of an organism’s traits.
Scientists Probe Powerful Molecular Messaging System That Goes Beyond DNA
Researchers are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that helps determine how the genetic code plays out.
Beyond DNA: How Environments Influence Biology to Make Things Happen
This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists discuss phenomics and the factors that influence DNA instructions to bring about the world around us.
