100,000 participants expected to provide DNA for analysis by the end of 2018
In May 2018 the National Institutes of Health will solicit applications for large-scale Genome Centers to generate genomic data as part of the All of Us Research Program.
The Genome Centers will be funded this summer to generate both genotyping and whole genome sequencing data from biospecimens from the cohort of a million people.
The centers also will operate an analysis workflow resulting in high-confidence calling of all variant types (single nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, larger structural variants) and establish a robust pipeline to securely transmit data to the All of Us Data and Research Center.
All of Us is currently in an enrollment beta phase in...
