Revolutionary Genome Sequencing Technologies -- the $1000 Genome: The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to solicit grant applications to develop novel technologies that will enable extremely low-cost genomic DNA sequencing. Current technologies are able to produce the sequence of a mammalian-sized genome of the desired data quality for $10 to $50 million; the goal of this initiative is to reduce costs by at least four orders of magnitude, so that a mammalian- sized genome could be sequenced for approximately $1000. Substantial fundamental research is needed to develop the scientific and technological knowledge underpinning such a major advance. Therefore, it is anticipated that the realization of the goals of this RFA is a long-range effort that is likely to require as much as ten years to achieve. A parallel RFA HG-04-002 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HG-04-002.html) solicits grant applications to develop technologies to meet the shorter-term goal of achieving two-orders of magnitude cost reduction in about five years.
