As part of a new National Institutes of Health Common Fund program called the Somatic Mosaicism across Human Tissues (SMaHT) Network, Baylor College of Medicine researchers received three grants totaling more than $17.8 million over five years to develop state-of-the-art tools to catalog the extent of somatic mosaicism in different cell types, tissues and life stages, to better understand how much somatic mosaicism influences human biology and disease.
One of Baylor’s grants will establish a genome characterization center at Baylor’s Human Genome Sequencing Center.
