| Description: | This FOA is one of three issued to create a new program called "Molecular Phenotypes of Null Alleles in Cells (MorPhiC)". The long-term goal of MorPhiC is to develop a consistent catalog of molecular and cellular phenotypes for null alleles for every human gene, using in vitro multicellular systems. The catalog will be made available for broad use by the biomedical community. The program will start with a Phase 1 to optimize available methods to create null alleles and measure their phenotypic effects in a target subset of 1000 protein coding genes across the program. Phase I will also assess the scale limitations of such methods, develop common data formats, and establish use cases for this catalog. This specific FOA seeks applications for MorPhiC Data Production Research and Development Centers, which will develop diverse systems and assays and explore and compare approaches to produce MorPhiC data at scale, and to maximize its informativeness. |
