Functional Analysis Program
Functional Analysis Program OverviewCompletely sequencing an organism's genome is just the beginning of our understanding of that organism's biology. All of the genes still need to be identified; the function of those genes' expressed products (functional RNAs and proteins) must be elucidated; and the non-coding regulatory sequences need to be understood. The Functional Analysis of the Genome program manages and supports research that will lead to improved techniques and strategies for efficient identification and functional analysis of genes, coding regions and other functional elements of entire genomes on a high throughput basis. The main emphasis of this program is technology development. These technologies must be efficient, robust and have the potential to be applied in a large-scale yet cost-effective manner. The program also supports the large-scale application of high-throughput and efficient technologies on a limited basis, primarily in model organisms. (The application of these technologies to specific, highly focused biological or medical problems is not supported under this program).
