The past decade has witnessed a revolution in biology, driven largely by technological advances in high-throughput sequencing, functional genomics, proteomics, and computational procedures. The proposed research program will develop genomic tools and resources for sunflower and related species in the Compositae family, the largest and ecologically most diverse family of flowering plants. Changes in genes and their expression will be linked to the evolution of domestication and weed traits, species differences, and habitat transitions, and to the evolutionary forces causing these changes. Such linkages are required for a more explanatory theory of evolution, with implications for all branches of biology.

在过去的十年里，生物学发生了一场革命，主要是由高通量测序、功能基因组学、蛋白质组学和计算程序方面的技术进步推动的。拟议的研究计划将开发向日葵和菊科相关物种的基因组工具和资源，这是最大和生态上最多样化的开花植物家族。 基因及其表达的变化将与驯化和杂草性状的进化、物种差异和栖息地的转变以及导致这些变化的进化力量相联系。 这样的联系是进化论更有解释力的理论所必需的，对生物学的所有分支都有影响。
