Cross-Pollination Events

Our next scheduled meeting will take place on September 7th. Please contact us today if you are interested in presenting at an upcoming event at support@cfde.atlassian.net! Regular Cross-Pollination events take place on the first Tuesday of every month. Please check out the Cross-Pollination Schedule for more details.

IDG Hackathon

The Knowledge Management Center (KMC), as part of IDG, is hosting an upcoming IDG Hackathon on Aug. 31-Sept. 1, 2021. It will take place virtually. This Hackathon will aim to produce informatic tools and/or workflows in IDG to explore Phenotype/disease/protein function imputations by utilizing:

  1. Appyters and KnowledGraph methodologies and
  2. Structural Biology evolution and prediction knowledge

Funding Opportunities

In August, NHGRI published three FOA’s that together request applications proposing a five-year pilot effort whose long-term goal is to catalog the molecular and cellular phenotypes resulting from null alleles of genes in human cells. MorPhiC Phase 1 will target 1000 loci for gene knock-outs; explore multiple molecular and cellular assays; develop analyses to help understand the utility of, and requirements for, the data, and to distribute the results to the community.

The overall goal of Phase 1 is to reveal and understand the key challenges in scaling up such an effort to the whole genome, including: optimization of mutagenesis; scalability and informativeness of assays; limitations of interpretation; biological or other variability; develop data quality standards and data formats; and explore the range of uses for the data, alone and in combination with other genomic data types. This will inform a possible second phase.

A pre-application community webinar will be held on September 10th: https://www.genome.gov/event-calendar/MorPhiC-pre-application-webinar. Frequently Asked Questions about the FOA’s will be available on the NHGRI web site referenced. Email Contact: morphicprogram@nih.gov
