NHGRI Planning Process Topics for Further Exploration
The white papers presented in another portion of the Web site address important areas being considered by the Institute in the planning process, but they do not represent all of our areas of interest. Below is a list of topic areas that also have been identified for further exploration as part of the NHGRI planning process.
If there are areas that you feel are missing from both the already posted white papers and this list, please share your thoughts with us by submitting your comments through the comment box below.
- Large-scale DNA sequencing and its applications, such as medical sequencing, comparative sequencing, and metagenomic sequencing
- Sequence-based functional genomics, currently being addressed by projects such as ENCODE, modENCODE, and MGC, but also including the disease-specific transcriptome profiles of disease, siRNAs, microRNAs, the language of gene regulation, and cell states
- Population genomics
- Informatics and computational biology relevant to genomics, including new bioinformatic tools, databases/browsers, visualization tools and beyond
- Epigenomics
- Proteomics
- Chemical genomics
- Genomics of good health
- Ethical, legal, and social implications, including new social network models for direct-to-consumer information distribution, public education, and implications for clinical research
- Application of genomics to clinical problems, including rare diseases, global health, diagnostics, prevention, and therapeutics
- Large-scale population cohort studies

Please Note:
- NHGRI will not respond to individual comments. There may be an institute response on the planning pages or in a comment box, but NHGRI will not send an individual e-mail to an individual commentator.
- NHGRI has no obligation to post an individual's comment if the institute reviewer feels the comment is inappropriate.
- Comments will be reviewed and posted (if appropriate) within 48 hours.
- Personal details and identifiers will be removed before comments are posted, and the comments may be edited in some cases to make them of more general relevance.
- If approved, comments submitted will appear on a separate webpage. (See View Comments link below)
