Protist 10,000 Genomes Project

The 3,000 rice genomes project

BACKGROUND Rice, Oryza sativa L., is the staple food for half the world's population. By 2030, the production of rice must increase by at least 25% in order to keep up with global population growth and demand. Accelerated genetic gains in rice improvement are needed to mitigate the effects of climate change and loss of arable land, as well as to ensure a stable global food supply. FINDINGS We...

Applications of the 1000 Genomes Project resources

The 1000 Genomes Project created a valuable, worldwide reference for human genetic variation. Common uses of the 1000 Genomes dataset include genotype imputation supporting Genome-wide Association Studies, mapping expression Quantitative Trait Loci, filtering non-pathogenic variants from exome, whole genome and cancer genome sequencing projects, and genetic analysis of population structure and ...

Sampling Precision to Depth 10000: Evaluation Experiments at CLEF 2007

We describe evaluation experiments conducted by submitting retrieval runs for the monolingual Bulgarian, Czech and Hungarian information retrieval tasks of the AdHoc Track of the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2007. In the ad hoc retrieval tasks, the system was given 50 natural language queries, and the goal was to find all of the relevant documents (with high precision) in a particular...

The 100 000 Genomes Project: What it means for paediatrics.

The 100,000 Genomes Project is a unique, national programme combining research and transformation of clinical care, by undertaking Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in patients with rare diseases and cancer. Made possible by technological advances in next generation sequencing1 and falling costs, this project aims to find the genes which cause a patient’s rare disease and identify genetic changes w...
