NHGRI Funds Two Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced grants expected to total approximately $30 million to establish one new Center of Excellence in Genomic Science at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), and continue its support of the center at Stanford University.

Salehi-Ashtiani K, Yang X, Derti A, Tian W, Hao T, Lin C, Makowski K, Shen L, Murray RR, Szeto D, Tusneem N, Smith DR, Cusick ME, Hill DE, Roth FP, Vidal M. Isoform discovery by targeted cloning, 'deep-well' pooling and parallel sequencing. Nat Methods 2008;5:597-600.

Describing the ORFeome of an organism, including all major isoforms, is essential for a system-level understanding of any species; however, conventional cloning and sequencing approaches are prohibitively costly and labor-intensive..MORE->>>





Djebali S, Kapranov P, Foissac S, Lagarde J, Reymond A, Ucla C, Wyss C, Drenkow J, Dumais E, Murray RR, Lin C, Szeto D, Denoeud F, Calvo M, Frankish A, Harrow J, Makrythanasis P, Vidal M, Salehi-Ashtiani K, Antonarakis SE, Gingeras TR, Guigo R. Efficient targeted transcript discovery via array-based normalization of RACE libraries. Nat Methods 2008;5:629-35.

Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) is a widely used approach for transcript identification. Random clone selection from the RACE mixture, however, is an ineffective sampling strategy if the dynamic range of transcript abundances is large.MORE->>>
