About DPGP

Efficient, accurate and complete description of genomes of collections of individuals from populations is key to both practical and theoretical understanding of variation in phenotypes including disease risk. Publicly available human and model organism reference genomic sequences and their ever-growing rich annotation and recent advances sequencing technology provide an exciting opportunity for revolutionary advances in population genomics and the study of complex traits.

Broad goals of this project are

• To develop and validate resequencing technologies.
• To establish a sustainable high quality resequencing capacity.
• To provide preliminary results and analyses that reveal the potential of the emerging discipline of population genomics.
