a) Develop technologies for rapid, large-scale identification or
scoring, or both, of SNPs and other DNA sequence variants.
b) Identify
common variants in the coding regions of the majority of identified genes during this
5-year period.
c) Create an
SNP map of at least 100,000 markers.
d) Develop the
intellectual foundations for studies of sequence variation.
e) Create
public resources of DNA samples and cell lines.
