GRC and Collaborators

The GRC is a collaborative effort and only works with input from the larger scientific community. We strive to work closely with external groups to gather all relevant data.

Eichler Lab
Fosmid end analysis to identify problem regions and sequence to fill gaps in human.
- Evan Eichler
- Jeff Kidd

Schwartz Lab
Optical map information to identify problems and confirm joins in human and mouse.
