NIFA’s Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) focuses on collaborative science that builds a community of researchers across both crops and animals that will expand knowledge concerning genomes and phenomes of importance to U. S agriculture.
The purpose of the research initiative is to: Study agriculturally significant crops and animals in production environments to achieve long-term, secure agricultural production. Ensure that gaps in knowledge of agricultural crop and animal genetics and phenomics are filled. Identify and develop an understanding of relevant genes from animals and agronomically relevant genes from crops important to U.S. agriculture.
Ensure genetic improvement of crops and animals important to U.S. agriculture. Study the relevance of diverse germplasm as a source of unique genes that may be important in the future. Enhance genetics to reduce the economic impact of pathogens on crops and animals important to U.S. agriculture.
Provide a foundation for collaborative science across disciplines that benefits agricultural crop and animal production. These are the NOFOs associated with the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI).
