ENCODE Data Analysis Center (U24)

archived

The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications to develop and implement a Data Analysis Center (DAC) for the ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project. The DAC will provide leadership and computational expertise to analyze data from the ENCODE project, specify and update data processing pipelines and quality metrics for major data types, design and perform integrative analysis of ENCODE data to update and refine the Encyclopedia (a major ENCODE product for the research community) and develop a scientific strategy to characterize the ENCODE sample portfolio both for the short-term goal of prioritization of new data collection, and the longer-term goal to assess the comprehensiveness of the sample space that has been examined.The DAC will work closely with another ENCODE component, the Data Coordinating Center (DCC), described in the companion FOA, RFA-HG-16-005, to form an integrated ENCODE Data Coordination and Analysis Center (EDCAC). The funded DCC and DAC projects will be expected to coordinate their activities, and to participate in and coordinate activities of the ENCODE Consortium.
