The goal of the Genomics for Bioforensics project (FY06-FY08) has been to explore the application of genomics to the challenge of attribution for biological organisms: given a sample of an agent, can we use genomics to (help) determine whether the new sample is an endemic strain, a strain introduced from another place or time, or a novel (possibly engineered) strain?
