Genome Technology Program
Genome Technology Program OverviewThe Genome Technology program supports research to develop new methods, technologies and instruments that enable rapid, low-cost determination of DNA sequence, SNP genotyping (Genetic Variation Program) and functional genomics (broadly defined) experiments (Functional Analysis Program). Priorities include the refinement of current technologies to increase efficiency and decrease cost while maintaining or improving data quality, and the development of completely novel approaches to achieve orders-of-magnitude improvement. Integration of process steps is key to achieving these goals. The program also supports and coordinates transfer of technology from developers to users, and promotes collaborative, multidisciplinary programs that closely integrate research projects at academic and industrial laboratories. The involvement of The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in BECON [becon.nih.gov], the trans-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Bioengineering Consortium, is through the Genome Technology program. The development of integrated concepts and tools for genomic research benefits from bioengineering research and methods. NHGRI supports bioengineering research through grants made in response to NHGRI program announcements and requests for application, and through NHGRI participation in BECON's bioengineering funding [becon.nih.gov] opportunities, such as the Bioengineering Research Grants (BRG) and Bioengineering Research Partnerships (BRP) programs.

Genome Technology Program Advanced Sequencing Technology AwardsIn 2004, NHGRI initiated a coordinated effort to support the development of technologies to dramatically reduce the cost of DNA sequencing, a move aimed at broadening the applications of genomic information in medical research and health care.
Genome Technology Program Bibliography: Publications and PatentsNHGRI launched an ambitious program in 2004 to reduce the cost of full mammalian genome sequencing initially by 100-fold and subsequently by an additional 100-fold, aiming ultimately at about $1,000. Below, listed by Principal Investigator, are citations and links to many of the articles and patents resulting from this program and closely related research.
