WANTED: DEAD or ALIVE!
THE HUMAN MICROBIOME PROJECT (HMP) NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!
We’re actively seeking microbes - bacterial, eukaryotic, and viral - that have been isolated from the human body and are available for sequencing as part of the HMP’s reference genome collection. For a list of projects that have been targeted by the HMP, are underway, or have been completed, see the HMP project catalog. 
We're also maintaining a list of the 'most wanted' bacteria for sequencing. Capture of these elusive bacteria for whole genome sequencing will help us to fill phylogenetic holes in the current reference genome collection. Amplified material from single cells will also be considered for sequencing.
To nominate strains for sequencing, please click here . The deadline for nominations is November 1st, 2012!
NIH Common Fund Programs Now Part of National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) was established in FY 2012 to support rigorous research on the discipline of translation, overcoming bottlenecks to accelerate the development of diagnostics and therapeutics.
Common Fund programs with a new administrative home in NCATS:
- Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs)
- Molecular Libraries and Imaging program’s NIH Chemical Genomics Center
- Bridging Interventional Development Gaps (BrIDGs) program, formerly known as NIH-RAID
The NIH Common Fund is managed by the Office of Strategic Coordination, part of the Division of Program Coordination, Planning and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI).
WE HEARD FROM YOU!
