The GCCRC research program is built upon a platform called “From Gene to Trait”. This platform uses modern bioinformatics and computational tools to interrogate omics data from a wide variety of sources to identify novel genes, pathways, and microbes to develop biotechnologies to face a threat imposed by climate changes.
The GCCRC science is especially interested in the genomes and microbiomes of plants growing in biodiverse ecosystems exposed to severe water deficit and acidic and nutrient-poor soils.
