Both medical and plant sciences face similar technological problems in harnessing the power of modern DNA sequencing for accelerating the pace of beneficial gene function discovery. Plant and animal researchers will collaborate in this program to meet this common challenge. The research outcomes envisaged in this proposal will benefit human health by enabling more rapid discovery of genes related to obesity, immunity, fertility, neurological function and cancer. In the plant sphere, the outcomes will shed new light on plant functions related to plant energy metabolism, vitamin biosynthesis drought tolerance and water use by crops. The research will benefit both human health and agricultural food production and quality.

在利用现代DNA测序的力量来加快有益基因功能发现的步伐方面，医学和植物科学都面临着类似的技术问题。植物和动物研究人员将在这个项目中合作，以应对这一共同的挑战。这项提案中设想的研究成果将使人们能够更快地发现与肥胖、免疫、生育、神经功能和癌症相关的基因，从而使人类健康受益。在植物领域，这些结果将为植物在植物能量代谢、维生素生物合成、抗旱性和作物水分利用等方面的功能提供新的线索。这项研究将有利于人类健康和农业食品的生产和质量。
