What's Now in the IGSP
IGSP Funds 'Next-Gen' Sequencing Studies
In an initiative designed to catalyze the growth of genome analysis at Duke, the IGSP has announced a series of seed grants to use “next-generation” DNA sequencing technology for studies ranging from basic biology to clinical medicine. Four new projects will explore the biology of the human genome, symbiotic relationships between two species, bacteria found in the intestinal tract of newborn infants and diversity in the Costa Rican rainforest.READ MORE
