Description

This funding opportunity announcement invites applications to establish the Genome Characterization Centers (GCCs) for the Somatic Mosaicism across Human Tissues (SMaHT) Network. ?The purpose of the SMaHT Network is to enable discovery of new biology and disease mechanisms mediated by genomic variation in somatic tissues. The GCCs will be responsible for generating state of the art, high throughput genomic data characterizing somatic variants in a set of 10-15 human tissues from 150+ donors. The GCCs will work closely with the SMaHT Data Analysis Center to build the framework for a comprehensive catalog of variants.
