As concerns over climate change, pollution andother anthropogenic changes to the environmentincrease, interest in nding new solutions forunderstanding and mitigating these conditions isgrowing. The emerging discipline of environmentalgenomics investigates how living organisms adaptto and are impacted by their environments, usinggenomic technologies. The UK Natural Environ-ment Research Council (NERC) funds environ-mental genomic research and has recently investedover £26 million in two science programmes inthis area: ‘Environmental Genomics’ and ‘Post-Genomics and Proteomics’. To support researchersworking in this area, NERC has created the NERCEnvironmental Bioinformatics Centre (
