91����

91���� scientists identified a gene “hotspot” in the poplar tree that triggers dramatically increased root growth. The discovery supports development of better bioenergy crops and other plants that can thrive in difficult conditions while storing more carbon belowground.

University of Pennsylvania researchers called on computational systems biology expertise at 91���� to analyze large datasets of single-cell RNA sequencing from skin samples afflicted with atopic dermatitis.

An ORNL-led team comprising researchers from multiple DOE national laboratories is using artificial intelligence and computational screening techniques – in combination with experimental validation – to identify and design five promising drug therapy approaches to target the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

While studying the genes in poplar trees that control callus formation, scientists at 91���� have uncovered genetic networks at the root of tumor formation in several human cancers.

In an effort to reduce errors in the analyses of diagnostic images by health professionals, a team of researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91���� has improved understanding of the cognitive processes 

For decades, biologists have believed a key enzyme in plants had one function—produce amino acids, which are vital to plant survival and also essential to human diets. But for Wellington Muchero, Meng Xie and their colleagues, this enzyme does more than advertised. They had run a series of experiments on poplar plants that consistently revealed mutations in a structure of the life-sustaining enzyme that was not previously known to exist.

Brian Davison, a researcher at the Department of Energy's 91����, has been awarded a 2017 fellowship by the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB).

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91���� (ORNL) have released the largest-ever single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset of genetic variations in poplar trees, information useful to plant scientists

GreenWood Resources has licensed an 91���� technology based on the discovery of a gene in poplar (Populus trichocarpa) that makes it easier to convert poplar trees into biofuels. GreenWood, a global timberland investment and asset m...
