Novel Sources of Genomewide Variation (WP2)

 WP2 will be responsible for ensuring that ENGAGE exploits the potential of accessing additional types of GWA (structural variants; methylation variants; deep resequencing) as the relevant technologies mature. ENGAGE Partners provide expertise and resources to expedite appropriate application of these technologies to ENGAGE samples. WP2 will have some resources to initiate specific small-scale projects in each area, though application to large sample sets will be reliant on external funding. WP2 will liaise closely with WP1 and WP4 to ensure that data are made available to the WP1 in standardized format and with relevant meta-data.
