NOI- CONSULTATION AND DATA STORAGE

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a contract to Dr. Claire Marchal for the services required to analyze and integrate diverse molecular genomic data from human and mouse retinas. The contractor will pre-process diverse raw data generated in the lab by Next Generation Sequencing methods as well as those from relevant public datasets. The contractor will integrate data using state-of-the-art statistical modeling, generate genomic regulatory networks from this data, and develop user-friendly tools to allow biologists to explore the data. The contractor will also identify retina-specific genomic features and explore biological and medical significance. • The contractor will attend regular meetings with the people involved in the project and participate in the publication of this work in peer-review journals. • The draft of a manuscript ready for submission is expected by the end of the period of performance. • The period of performance will be from May 20th, 2026, to May 19, 2027.
