This grant, offered by the National Institutes of Health, is for the purpose of advancing existing computational software tools for contemporary DNA sequencing data. The primary goal is to make these informatics tools robust, reliable, well-documented, and well-supported, facilitating their ready adoption by biological and biomedical research laboratories. It supports tools for various sequence data applications, such as quality assessment, alignment, assembly, and variant interpretation, addressing the needs of investigators handling large datasets. Proposals for stand-alone programs or integrated suites are sought to provide accessible, reliable resources for critical genomic data analysis.

| Description: | This FOA is intended to fund the further development of existing computational software tools for use with contemporary DNA sequencing technology in order to make those tools sufficiently robust, reliable, well-documented, and well-supported that they can be readily adopted by any biological or biomedical research laboratory.
Potential applications for such tools include determination of sequence quality, alignment, assembly, variant calling, interpretation of variants, or any other application for which there is existing or likely future demand by many investigators or clinicians who work with large amounts of data from contemporary sequencing instruments. Proposals for producing stand-alone tools or integrated suites of programs for data processing or analysis will be responsive to this FOA. |
