| The Institute for Genomic Research (492 words) |
 | The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) is a not-for-profit center dedicated to deciphering and analyzing genomes – the complex molecular chains that constitute each organism’s unique genetic heritage. |
 | Since it was founded in 1992, TIGR has been at the forefront of the genomics revolution, deepening the understanding of life and producing results with wide-ranging applications in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment and biodefense. |
 | Starting with her work in 1995 on the first bacterial genome to be sequenced, Dr. Fraser has become one of the most highly cited scientists in microbiology, and is an international leader in the field of microbial genomics and forensics. |
