P ROGRAMS FOR G ENOMIC A PPLICATIONS National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institutes National Institutes of Health
Mission Statement To develop new resources, reagents, and education programs for investigators engaged in NHLBI- related research.
PGA Mission Provide new resources and reagents to link genes to biological function and make these readily available to the NHLBI community. Facilitate workshops, courses, and visiting scientist programs to train investigators in the technologies being applied in the PGAs. Rapidly disseminate data through the world wide web and public databases.

Goals Produce a `draft sequence` of the genome, Assembly and first-pass annotation, Cross-species comparison, A public assembler, Foundation for a finishing effort, Interface with community,
Fold-Coverage Timelines (Year One) (Cumulative) All in MOU (with data release policy)
Strategy: Strain Selection: Howard Jacob’s BN/SsNHsd This Brown Norway strain has only seven heterozygous markers in the more than 4,000 tested i.e. it is very `isogenic` as a representative strain.
New BAC Library Made by Pieter de Jong from BN/SsNHsd female, One enzyme so far ~200 kb inserts 10 X coverage Second enzyme to come? Doug Smith pursuing chr Y library,
Fingerprints: UBC, ~40,000 for `de-randomization` ~200,000 for f`print assembly, BES: TIGR, ~200,000 paired ends
Strategy: BAC Skims BAC skims to cover 90% of genome Originally 20, kb `de-randomized` 1.0 x coverage, (384 reads per BAC) = 1 x clone coverage = 67% - 80% coverage ~ 5,000 gaps for walks, Now 15, kb reads per BAC and 1.7 X coverage
Strategy: BAC Skims (cont`d) Reads in BACs: 2kb paired end (dye term) kb paired end (dye term) -- M13 (with primer chemistry) ?
Strategy: WGS Reads 2kb paired end (dye term) kb paired end (dye term) +++ 5kb and 50kb discussed, M13 (with primer chemistry) ?
- Usual - Assembly - Data `purity` Challenges:
