Carbon Sequestration inSynechococcusSp.: From Molecular Machines to Hierarchical Modeling

Carbon sequestration in Synechococcus Sp.: from molecular machines to hierarchical modeling.

The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced the first five grants for the Genomes to Life (GTL) Program. The goal of this program is to "achieve the most far-reaching of all biological goals: a fundamental, comprehensive, and systematic understanding of life." While more information about the program can be found at the GTL website (www.doegenomestolife.org), this paper provides an overvie...

An Overview of the Sandia National Laboratories Genomes to Life Project, "Carbon Sequestration in Synechococcus Sp.: From Molecular Machines to Hierarchical Modeling"

The Sandia-led Genomes to Life (GTL) project: “Carbon Sequestration in Synechococcus Sp.: From Molecular Machines to Hierarchical Modeling,” is focused on developing, prototyping, and applying new computational tools and methods to ellucidate the biochemical mechanisms of the carbon sequestration of Synechococcus Sp., an abundant marine cyanobacteria known to play an important role in the globa...

Modeling Carbon Sequestration in Home Lawns

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and the impact of carbon (C) cycling in urban soils are themes of increasing interest. A model was developed to investigate the potential of C sequestration in home lawns. The model contrasted gross C sequestered versus the hidden C costs (HCC) associated with typical lawn maintenance practices. The potential of SOC sequestration for U.S. home lawns was d...
