NIA
Researchers from the federally funded sequencing project provided updates at the American Society of Human Genetics annual meeting.
TGen, Longevity Consortium Land $45M Grant From National Institute on Aging
The grant will provide continuing support to current researchers, though approximately 35 to 40 percent will be used to fund new research.
Constantiam Bio Gets $485K Grant From National Institute on Aging for Alzheimer's Tool Development
The funding will be used to advance a tool for interpreting risk variants associated with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
New Risk Loci for Rare Neurodegenerative Disorder Emerge From Genome Sequencing Study
Using a combination of genomic approaches, researchers found genetic contributors to an understudied synucleinopathy condition called multiple system atrophy.
The researchers found the platform performed well in these areas, though as a SomaScan user noted, the system's specificity remains a question mark for some.
