The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $422,125 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to the University of Miami to develop novel analytical tools and resources for the study of tandem repeats (TRs) in the context of the All of Us Research Program (AOURP) data. This project aims to characterize the recently established AOURP long-read sequencing data, which includes over 3.5 billion TR alleles from 1,027 participants. The University of Miami will develop...
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) awarded a $457,920 Project Grant (CFDA #93.172 - Human Genome Research) to The Broad Institute, Inc. to develop a deep reinforcement learning framework for haplotype assembly. Haplotype assembly is critical for understanding human population genetics and disease, as it reconstructs the combination of alleles on maternally and paternally inherited chromosome copies. The Broad Institute, a renowned biomedical and genomic research organization,...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $435,406 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to the University of Colorado-Denver to explore new strategies for inferring protein-level changes from mRNA abundance measurements. The 2-year project aims to develop conceptual embeddings of proteins that capture information on protein-protein interaction networks and protein sequence, domain, and structure. These embeddings will be evaluated for their utility in...
This federal Project Grant award of $126,830 from the National Human Genome Research Institute (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) supports research to develop a somatic mutation-resolved lineage tracing system. The project aims to reconstruct single-cell genealogical trees and detect associated somatic mutations and epigenetic alterations. This will enable investigations into the impact of genomic modifications on the evolutionary dynamics of hematopoietic stem cells, including during...
