The funding will be used to support the the newly established ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center at Stanford University.

The team tested 21 protocols for extracting DNA from human fecal microbiome samples to recommend one to improve comparability between studies.

The four-year project, which ended in 2010, collected DNA samples and lifestyle information from half a million people from the UK.

The institute will work with other HCA members to build a data-coordination platform for the initiative's researchers.

Researchers applied a SNP heritability model called LDAK to genetic data for a range of human traits, uncovering relatively high levels of variance explained by SNPs.

Researchers profiled the genotypes and phenotypes for more than 700 induced pluripotent stem cell lines, uncovering between-individual sources of variation. 

The computational method, called DeepCpG, is designed to tease out missing epigenetic marks and related DNA motifs in single-cell DNA methylation data.
