RNomics Molecular Standards
Funds RNA reference standards so labs can compare results and trust their instruments across the RNomics program.
A field that measures RNA sequence, modification, and structure a dozen different ways needs a shared ruler, or nobody's results are comparable to anybody else's.
This notice is one of four initiatives under the NIH Common Fund's RNomics program, alongside a technology-enhancement track, a transformative-technologies track, and a coordinating center. This piece funds the molecular-standards track…
Development, testing, refinement and distribution of RNA molecular reference standards, covering modified nucleosides and modified oligonucleotides, with guidance on best practices for their use and planning for their availability beyond the funding period, to support benchmarking, reproducibility and cross-laboratory comparison of RNA technologies across the RNomics program.
