Industrial Biotechnology

Functional genomics plays an important role in the study of biological systems used in industrial biotechnology. Understanding these systems and the function of the underlying genes allows organisms to be engineered for production of biofuels and industrial enzymes. Organisms can also be harnessed for use in bioreactors to generate energy, and adapted for bioremediation.

TimeLogic's accelerated sequence comparison tools enable rapid understanding of the systems biology behind these organisms and allow bioengineering to contribute solutions to real world energy problems.
