1. Genomes To Life User Facilities for 21 st Century Systems Biology A Joint Initiative of the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research and the Office of Biological and Environmental Research http://DOEGenomesToLife.org Dr. Marvin Frazier December 3, 2002 Biological and Environmental Research Advisory Committee Meeting

2. Growing Mandate to Move Biology Forward “Molecular Level Understanding of Life Processes” is a National Science Priority. — OMB/OSTP FY 2004 Budget Guidance Memo “Instrument development & new facilities are critical needs in microbial science.” — American Academy of Microbiology 2001 Colloquium, “Microbial Ecology and Genomics: A Crossroads of Opportunity” “DOE should now create unique, high throughput research facilities and resources to translate the new biology, embodied in the Genomes to Life (GTL) program, into a reality for the nation.” —Biological and Environmental Research Advisory Committee Agency Comments R. Aebersold and J. D. Watts, “The Need for National Centers for Proteomics,” Nature Biotechnology, 20: 651 (July 2002).

6. Genomes to Life: User Facilities for 21 st Century Systems Biology Biotechnology Revolution offers DOE mission solutions The genome is the key to major advancements in understanding and applications Microbes are Us: Major Discoveries and Diverse Beneficial Capabilities The Genomic Approach: High-Tech, High-Throughput, and High-Quality Data to free the scientist to do science Pilot Projects and Technology Development: We have already established the bases for facilities We have a plan: Science, Technologies, Facilities, and Management

7. DOE R&D Contributed to: Decreased Cost Increased Throughput Providing the Paradigm for Genomes to Life Facilities Human Genome Project Making the Impossible Routine Cost per base in dollars. Millions of bases finished.

10. Facility cost estimates are based on New Construction and will meet the elimination of excess facility requirements. Cost estimates are for a fully equipped and completely functional facility. Upon approval of the concept other external funding sources (e.g., third party, multiple agency, etc.) will be considered as appropriate. Facility Cost Estimates=$885M

11. Management Principles for Genomes to Life User Facilities An open-acquisition process that encourages broad involvement of the national laboratories, academia, and industry in innovation and technology development, facility design and development, as well as host site selection Peer-review process for determining the target and products of the facilities An open availability of facilities capabilities and free dissemination of data, tools, and materials

12. GTL Facilities Hallmarks Open, Rapid User Access to Data and Facilities Advanced Technologies Microbial Genomics High- Throughput Analysis and Production Biosystems Training Informatics and Databases Computing and Simulation Technology Integration for Tomorrow’s Biology
