“The Broad isn’t alone: Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, the Salk Institute in San Diego, and University of California, San Diego, are also launching major efforts to study cell circuitry, says UCSD computational biologist Trey Ideker. He suggests that eventually these groups should form a “big, coordinated science project” so that they can divide up the task of mapping circuits in different cell types. “This is a very big goal and in a sense the logical successor to the Human Genome Project,” Ideker says.”
Mapping cellular circuits – very interesting.
