Mission
The NIG fosters genetics and genomics research in broad sense with special reference to Italian population.
Aims
Defining an Italian Reference Genome for the identification of:
- genes responsible for genetic diseases and susceptibility genes for complex diseases in both basic and translational researches,
- genetic variants responsible for interindividual differences in drug response in the Italian population, and useful for population and forensic purposes
- new target for diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases
Creation of a shared database (NIG-db) containing data from nucleic acids sequencing of Italian subjects. NIG-db will only publish aggregate variant frequencies from a pool of data provided by the submitters.
About the NIG Repository
The NIG( Network for Italian Genomes) fosters genetic and genomics research in broad sense with special reference to italian population. The main aim is the definition of an Italian Research Genome for the identification of genes responsible for genetic diseases ans susceptibility genes for complex disease in both basic and translational researches, genetic variants responsible for interindividual differences in drug response in the Italian population but also useful for population and forensic purpose and new target for diagnosis and treatement of genetic diseases. In collaboration with CINECA, NIG is creating a shared database (NIG Repository) containing data from nucleic acids sequesncing of Italian subjects. The Nig Repository will only publish aggregrate variant frequencies from a poll of data provided by the submitters.
