2.Organism-Specific Functional Genomics & Labeling Projects
Conducted functional re-annotation, gene classification, and pathway labeling for organisms with applied industrial and energy relevance: Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus – Hydrogen production Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans – Hydrogen production Aspergillus terreus – Lovastatin biosynthesis Geobacter sulfurreducens – Electricity generation (bioelectrochemical systems) Botryococcus braunii – Biodiesel production Key contributions: Functional labeling of genes, enzymes, and metabolic pathways Integration of computational predictions with biological literature Validation using multiple bioinformatics tools (IN HOUSE AND PUBLIC), databases, and peer-reviewed publications Creation of curated, high-confidence annotation datasets.
