Dartmouth Medical School will lead a $9 million National Institutes of Health grant to direct a collaboration in functional genomics that will be one of the most comprehensive to date within the group of organisms studied. The award to DMS' department of genetics from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences will be used primarily to analyze the roles and functions of genes in filamentous fungi that could shape future medical studies, including the development of antibiotics and treatments.

Other institutions listed in the grant include UC-Berkeley, UCLA, MIT, University of New Mexico, University of Missouri and Oregon Health Sciences University.
