Signature Research in Genomics Program

SRG

UC Davis believes that investments in genomic research is an important element in establishing a world-class research facility in multi-omics integration, big data bioinformatics, and large-scale genomics-based discovery. The UC Davis Signature Research in Genomics Program (SRG) supports this vision by providing seed funding for projects that require use of high throughput DNA sequencing to address grand challenge problems in agricultural, environmental and health sciences. This program is designed to promote large-scale innovative genomics research at UC Davis that is enabled by next generation sequencing technology.
