The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish Mapping Centers that will generate single-cell, multi-omics maps of active genes and regulatory elements in the human and mouse genomes.
This will be accomplished through use of high-throughput state-of-the-art methods
to profile biochemical features characteristic of active genomic regions while preserving information about biological and/or spatial context.
This will ultimately enable the association of active genomic regions with specific cell fates and states.
Centers funded through this initiative will become part of the Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) Consortium.
As members of this consortium, Mapping Centers will be expected to work closely with one another and other Consortium components to accelerate understanding of how genomic variation impacts human health and disease through the coordination of data collection strategies and analyses.
