Research Programs
Our scientists conduct a number of federally funded research projects and spearhead initiatives that explore a variety of areas of genetics.
NUgene Project
This interdisciplinary project collects and stores DNA samples and associated health information to examine the role genes play in the development and treatment of common diseases.
eMERGE Network
The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network investigates how genetic testing information in electronic medical records can help physicians manage patient care.
Evaluating Computable Phenotype Performance
This online calculator is a resource for investigators who work with EHR algorithms, providing a means to adjust and interpret key performance metrics in the validation of computable phenotypes.
dictyBase
This genetic database details the model organism Dictyosteliumdiscoideum.
Dicty Stock Center
This central repository offers information about Dictyostelium discoideum strains, isolates of other cellular slime mold species, plasmids and commonly used bacteria.
Gene Ontology
This major bioinformatics initiative aims to standardize the representation of gene and gene product attributes across species and databases.
