Description

This FOA is intended to fund the further development of existing computational software tools for use with contemporary DNA sequencing technology in order to make those tools sufficiently robust, reliable, well-documented, and well-supported that they can be readily adopted by any biological or biomedical research laboratory. Potential applications for such tools include determination of sequence quality, alignment, assembly, variant calling, interpretation of variants, or any other application for which there is existing or likely future demand by many investigators or clinicians who work with large amounts of data from contemporary sequencing instruments. Proposals for producing stand-alone tools or integrated suites of programs for data processing or analysis will be responsive to this FOA.
