The dog genome project is a collaborative study involving scientists at the University of California, The University of Oregon, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center aimed at producing a map of all of the chromosomes in dogs, which can be used to map the genes causing disease and those genes controlling morphology and behavior.
The Broad Institute describes the purpose of the ENCODE Project. The National Human Genome Research Institute announces results of the ENCODE Project in a Press Release and provides an overview of the ENCODE Project.Some of the outcomes of the ENCODE Project are detailed by Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory. goal of the ENCODE Project is to link variations in the expression of certain genes to the development of disease. The ENCODE Project has given researchers insight into how the human genome functions.
