Description

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) seeks applications for a Human Genome Reference Center (HGRC). The HGRC will be the central group within a multi-component Human Genome Reference Program (HGRP) that will maintain and update the human genome reference and provide it to the scientific community. This group will also work with other HGRP members and the larger scientific community to prioritize sample choice and develop quality standards for new high-quality genome assemblies to add to the human genome reference; support state-of-the-art representations of alternate haplotypes (including representations developed by other program components); identify and respond to diverse community needs (e.g. clinical and basic) for use of the human genome reference; liaise or coordinate with other (international) resources that represent human genomic sequence and variation and/or that provide reference resources for human and other organisms. This and related FOA's will replace and update NHGRI's current contributions to the Genome Reference Consortium https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/grc
