What is a PGA?
AOn September 30, 2000, the NHLBI launched the Programs for Genomic Applications (PGAs). This program is a major initiative to advance functional genomic research related to heart, lung, blood, and sleep health and disorders. The goals of the PGAs include developing information, tools, and resources to link genes to biological function on a genomic scale. All the information, reagents, and tools developed in the PGAs will be freely available in a timely manner to the research community.
