Genomics stands at a remarkable moment of scientific opportunity and technological ferment. DMA sequence information is becoming an increasingly powerful for investigating biological question, and new technologies promise to decrease dramatically the cost of DMA sequencing and thereby further expand its reach. At the same time, the scientific and technological path forward has many uncertainties and obstacles. For these reasons, NHGRI seeks to support genome centers with the ability to provide both scientific and technological leadership through this exciting period of transition. This proposal has three specific aims: Aim 1. Current technology. We propose to operate a state-of-the-art genome center using current sequencing technology, continuing our 15-year track record of high throughput, low cost and flexibility. Our annual throughput will exceed 61 billion bases, with costs decreasing to $0.29/kQ20 base by the end of Year 4. The capacity will have the potential to be allocated flexibly across shotgun sequencing, targeted sequencing and finishing/improvement. Aim 2. New technology. In parallel, we aim to completely replace the current generation with new, disruptive technologies, with the goal of dramatically decreasing cost and increasing output. During the first year, we will operate two new sequencing platforms (454 and Solexa) at sufficient scale to understand their true performance, cost and utility and to produce valuable data. Based on the results, we aim to scale-up one or both platforms as soon as possible. This work requires more than simply implementing new instruments at production scale, although this is a substantial challenge. The greater challenge is that the two platforms are not currently suited to NHGRI's key genomic applications ¿ namely, genome assembly and directed re-sequencing. We will develop the full set of laboratory and computational tools required to adapt the technologies to these key applications. Our goal will be to achieve a cost reduction of >30-fold in these key applications by the end of the grant period. Aim 3. Scientific leadership. We will continue to serve as an intellectual resource for the scientific community, by pioneering new approaches for using DMA sequence to solve important biomedical problems and by working with the community to rapidly disseminate ideas, methods and data.

基因组学正处在一个科学机遇和技术发酵的非凡时刻。DMA 序列信息正在成为研究生物问题的越来越强大的工具，而且是一种新的 技术承诺大幅降低DMA排序的成本，从而进一步扩展其 伸手。与此同时，科技前进的道路上也存在许多不确定因素和障碍。 出于这些原因，NHGRI寻求支持基因组中心，使其能够提供科学和 在这个激动人心的过渡期中保持技术领先地位。 这项建议有三个具体目标： 目标1.当前技术。我们建议使用现有的技术运营一个最先进的基因组中心 测序技术，延续了我们15年来在高产量、低成本和灵活性方面的记录。我们的 年产量将超过610亿个基数，到年底成本将降至0.29美元/kQ20基数 4.容量将具有跨散弹枪排序、有针对性地灵活分配的潜力 排序和整理/改进。 目标2.新技术。同时，我们的目标是用新的、 颠覆性技术，目标是大幅降低成本和增加产量。在第一次 年，我们将以足够的规模运营两个新的测序平台(454和Solexa)，以了解它们的 真正的性能、成本和实用性，并产生有价值的数据。根据结果，我们的目标是扩大规模 一个或两个平台尽快。 这项工作需要的不仅仅是在生产规模上实施新的仪器，尽管这是一个 巨大的挑战。更大的挑战是，这两个平台目前不适合NHGRI的关键 基因组应用？即基因组组装和定向重新测序。我们将开发全套产品 使这些技术适应这些关键应用所需的实验室和计算工具。 我们的目标是在拨款结束前将这些关键应用的成本降低30倍 句号。 目标3.科学领导。我们将继续作为科学工作者的智力资源 社区，通过开创使用DMA序列来解决重要生物医学问题的新方法 并与社区合作，迅速传播想法、方法和数据。
