Maybe a naive question, but why is the Department of Energy involved in pathogen research? Might part of the governments problem (and ours) be that too many agencies have their hands in this?

I was curious too, and looked at the linked paper. Part of it involves pathogens threatening biofuel crops.

Yes, I clicked through twice myself. I saw that. Still don't see any reason why the Department of Energy needs to be a player in this.
