The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $259,446 Project Grant under CFDA Program 93.172 - Human Genome Research to the University of Washington. The grant, effective September 4, 2024 through June 30, 2025, will fund the development of semi-supervised machine learning integration tools to predict undercharacterized genomic and proteomic data from single-cell profiling. The research aims to computationally fill gaps in single-cell time series data, predict the physical...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $666,831 Project Grant under CFDA 93.172 (Human Genome Research) to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The grant, titled "Bayesian Estimation of Gene Effects on Traits from Coding Variants", aims to develop new techniques for using rare protein-coding variants, including loss-of-function mutations, deletions, and duplications, in burden tests to estimate the magnitude and direction of effect of each gene on a...
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. The project aims to create powerful computational tools that can accelerate transcriptional research by enabling the estimation of transcriptional rates directly from nascent RNA sequencing data, with applications in areas such...
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $1,350,896 Project Grant under the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028. The overarching goal of this research project is to develop novel technology based on massively parallel reporter barcoding strategies to enable simultaneous measurements of the effects of sequence perturbations on chromatin state, DNA-protein...
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), under the Human Genome Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.172), awarded a $384,418 Project Grant to Xgenomes Corp. on September 25, 2024 to develop a revolutionary DNA sequencing platform.
