PrintNHGRI 2008-2011 Planning Process Topics
The white papers that were developed as part of NHGRI's 2008-2011 planning process address important areas that were 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 were also identified for further exploration as part of the NHGRI planning process.
- 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
