Project
The project defines gene expression signatures and modules, regulatory elements in the genome, their connectivity, and the factors that control them. This as shaped by differentiation, genetic variation and immunologic challenges. These data support the computational reconstruction of the genetic regulatory network underlying immunocyte differentiation and activation.
ImmGen is primarily intended as a public resource. The data and metadata are publicly accessible through ImmGen’s dedicated interfaces.
Dear ImmGen users,
As you may know, the current US administration has mandated the mass termination of all grants from NIH to Harvard Medical School. We will not comment here on the reasons for this unprecedented action, or its devastating consequences.
ImmGen is a multi-center consortium but its work, and the databrowsers that it develops for community use, are supported by a grant administered at HMS. It was thus among those terminated.
We hope to reverse this decision, or align alternative funding, but there is no doubt that ImmGen is facing a very serious threat, and that the resource it provides to more than 10,000+ immunologists in 3000+ cities worldwide is at stake.
We would be most grateful for emails of support, quickly stating the value of ImmGen databrowsers or app for you and your work. Send to ImmgenATgmail.com and to your Senator (if inside the US), or the US Embassy in your country (if outside), and to whoever you think would be useful to enlist in supporting the ImmGen mission.
Thanks
The ImmGen Team
