This Project Grant award, valued at $491,366, was issued by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) under the Human Genome Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.172). The award is focused on developing new algorithms to robustly map disease-associated genetic variants to critical target genes, particularly in underrepresented populations. Key objectives include: Improving the ability to identify disease-critical genes in non-European populations where data is limited. Developing...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), through the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172), awarded a $444,125 Project Grant to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA) to develop computational models that accurately quantify open chromatin bias and TN5 intrinsic cleavage bias in both bulk and single-cell Cleavage Under Targets & Tagmentation (CUT & TAG) data. The models will characterize how these biases affect the detection of histone...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has awarded a $1,350,896 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the development of a "Multimodal MPRA Platform to Study Regulatory Sequence Function." The overarching goal of the research is to create new tools capable of elucidating the mechanisms and regulatory grammar underlying transcriptional processes. Specifically, the project will develop massively parallel...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $594,501 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to develop a unified probabilistic model and software implementation for analyzing nascent RNA sequencing data.
