Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science
The National Institutes of Health has issued a request for applications (RFA) to develop Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS).
A CEGS will focus on the development of novel technological or computational methods for the production or analysis of comprehensive data sets, or on a particular genome-scale biological problem, or on other ways to develop and use genomic approaches for understanding biological systems.
CEGS Recipient Awards 2001-2004 include the Center for the Epigenetics of Common Human Disease at Johns Hopkins University.
Epigenetics is the study of information within the cell that is heritable during cell division, but does not lie within the DNA sequence itself. Epigenetics has been largely ignored in human genomic science, although there is reason to believe that common human diseases may be related to epigenetic modifiers.
