Project title: National Center for Medical Genomic - modernization of infrastructure and research of genetic variation in the population
Project registration number: EF16_013/0001634
State funding provider: Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports
Programme: EF - OPVV (2014 - 2020)
Start date: 2017-04-01
End date: 2019-09-30
Principal investigator: Srovnal Josef M.D., Ph.D.

The project is a follows the project of the National Center for Medical Genomics (NCLG), which was presented in the Czech Republic's Travel Infrastructure, Experimental Development and Innovation Roadmap 2016 -2020, where support was provided without investment funds. The project therefore complements the necessary NCLG instrumentation and creates the appropriate background for quality research. Furthermore, the project for the current research in the NCLG will add new research, which will create a reference database of genetic variants of the Czech Republic. The project has two objectives: 1) to supplement NCLG equipment and 2) to collect available genotype data and to build a reference database of genetic variability of the Czech population.
