Biomedical technology research center that develops and applies new methods for analysis of metabolic networks in intact tissues, animals and human patients. The importance of understanding abnormal metabolism in common diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease has long been appreciated. Because of constraints in technology, however, much of this research has been conducted in isolated systems where clinical relevance may be uncertain. Progress in magnetic resonance technology provides a foundation for major advances towards new ways of imaging metabolism in patients. These new techniques offer the advantage of imaging biochemical pathways without radiation. The focus of this Resource is to bring these technologies to a level where clinical research is feasible through the development of new MR contrast agents, NMR spectroscopy at high fields, and imaging of hyperpolarized 13C.

Genomic data set on Type 2 Diabetes in African-Americans derived via admixture mapping, a method for genome-wide association analysis based on admixture-generated linkage disequilibrium. This collaborative group has identified 1,478 African Americans with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) from the Jackson Heart Study and Multiethnic Cohort Study, as well as 498 controls from the Jackson Heart Study who are normoglycemic despite high body mass index and older age. All samples were genotyped (using the Illumina BeadLab platform) for 1,291 polymorphic markers chosen to be extremely different in frequency between west Africans and European Americans. Evidence for association to diabetes at each marker as reported by the ANCESTRYMAP software are reported in the downloadable table. They calculate that this study has statistical power to detect loci where African or European ancestry on average confers multiplicative increased risk of 1.35-fold or more. The fact that they did not detect a statistically significant signal of association in the scan suggests that any genetic risk factors for T2D do not confer different risks due to ancestry that differ by this factor. The genome scan results are publicly available (Excel file) prior to publication so that researchers interested in the genetics of T2D can use the results of the scan to prioritize follow-up of any regions of interest.

Consortium to further the understanding of how genes are activated or repressed in both healthy and diseased human cells with a focus on distinct types of haematopoietic cells from healthy individuals and on their malignant leukemic counterparts. They will generate at least 100 reference epigenomes and study them to advance and exploit knowledge of the underlying biological processes and mechanisms in health and disease. Reference epigenomes will be generated by state-of-the-art technologies from highly purified cells for a comprehensive set of epigenetic marks in accordance with quality standards set by International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC). Access to the data is provided as well as the protocols used to collect the different blood cell types, to perform the different types of epigenomic analyses, etc.). This resource-generating activity will be complemented by hypothesis-driven research into blood-based diseases, including common leukemias and autoimmune disease (Type 1 Diabetes), by discovery and validation of epigenetic markers for diagnostic use and by epigenetic target identification. Since epigenetic changes are reversible, they can be targets for the development of novel and more individualized medical treatments. The involvement of companies will energize epigenomic research in the private sector by the development of smart technologies for better diagnostic tests and by identifying new targets for compounds. Thus the results of the project may lead to targeted diagnostics, new treatments and preventive measures for specific diseases in individual patients, an approach known as "personalized medicine". The Blueprint Data Access Committee will consider applications for access to data sets stored in the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) when authorized to do so by the Blueprint consortium and the holders of the original consent documents. Access is conditional upon availability of samples and/or data and signed agreement by the researcher(s) and the responsible employing Institution to abide by policies related to publication, data disposal, ethical approval and confidentiality. At EBI, the ftp site with the data can be found. You can either opt to link to the track hubs yourself or you can add the track hub to a genome browser - UCSC or ENSEMBL. Also Meta Data files and README are available. The data can also be accessed via the BIOMART system.
