The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $503,448.64 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to the University of Colorado-Denver on August 7, 2024 with a final completion date of May 31, 2027. The grant supports research to develop computational approaches for accurately genotyping short tandem repeat (STR) expansions using long-read sequencing data. The goal is to create a publicly available catalog of STR variation stratified by ancestry, which will enable...
This Project Grant award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) is focused on developing and applying machine learning-based approaches to estimate disease risk in diverse and admixed populations. The $399,156 award to Galatea Bio Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business located in Miami Lakes, FL, will support the following key objectives over the project period from September 2024 to August 2025: Evaluating the performance of existing...
This Project Grant award, with the ID R01HG013163, was provided by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) under the Human Genome Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.172). The $1,604,308.15 award supports a multi-omics study of ancestry-enriched associations in Hispanic/Latino populations, which aims to leverage genomic and multi-omics data to map genomic segments and variants inherited from ancestral populations and assess their relationship to disease states. The key...
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has been awarded a $428,448 Project Grant under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172). The award, with a project period from September 2023 to August 2025, will fund the development of a novel contrastive learning method to identify biologically and clinically relevant disease subtypes from electronic health record (EHR) data. The goal is to advance precision medicine by uncovering meaningful...
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), 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...
This Project Grant award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), under the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172), provides $1,350,896 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop novel technology for studying gene regulatory mechanisms. The goal is to create a "multimodal MPRA platform" that can simultaneously measure the effects of DNA sequence changes on chromatin state, transcription factor binding, chromosome interactions, and...
This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) under CFDA 93.172 "Human Genome Research" will support a research program at Brigham & Women's Hospital to develop advanced computational methods for accurately identifying and genotyping structural variants within large genetic biobank datasets. The key objectives of the work are to: 1) create haplotype-informed algorithms to improve detection sensitivity and genotyping accuracy for...
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...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $1,033,069.24 Project Grant (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) to The Johns Hopkins University to develop novel statistical methods for data integration and applications to genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The 4-year project, running from September 2024 to June 2028, will focus on three key aims: Developing a framework for building generalized linear models using detailed covariate data from a main study while incorporating...
