NISC Celebrates 10 Years!
|
The NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC), established in
1997, is a multi-disciplinary genomics facility that emphasizes
the generation and analysis of DNA sequence.
In addition to providing investigators at the NIH access to
large-scale DNA sequencing, NISC plays a major role in several
efforts related to the Human Genome Project including a
Comparative
Vertebrate Sequencing Initiative, the ENCODE
Project, and the
Mammalian Gene
Collection Program. NISC is also an active
participant in the
International
Sequencing Consortium.
