The grant, which was awarded under the NIH Pathway to Independence program, will fund research into the genetics of Alzheimer's disease.

In more than a dozen new papers, ENCODE researchers reported on analyses of the human and mouse genomes, using new data types and additional tissues.

A sequencing study of patients with early-onset dementia often found pathogenic or likely contributory variants in several genes.

The institute will apply long-read sequencing to the NIH All of Us program and conduct pediatric sequencing for cancer and birth defect studies.

The acquisition will result in a new DLS division called HudsonAlpha Discovery that will provide a range of services to the pharma, biotech, and diagnostics industries.
