Bioinformatics
Gene Identification
Develop efficient methods of identifying genes and for placement of known genes on physical maps or sequenced DNA.
Technology Development
Substantially expand support of innovative technological developments as well as improvements in current technology for DNA sequencing and to meet the needs of the Human Genome Project as a whole.
Model Organisms
Finish an STS map of the mouse at 300 Kb resolution
Finish the sequence of the E. coli and S. cerevisiae genomes by 1998 or earlier
Continue sequencing C. elegans and Drosophila genomes, with the aim of bringing C. elegans to near completion by 1998 Sequence selected segments of mouse DNA side by side with corresponding human DNA in areas of high biological interest
Specific Goals (Phase I 1993-1998)
