In this research project, we are harnessing the power of next generation sequencing technology to identify novel gene variants that cause leukodystrophy, the first step required to develop treatments for this disease. To achieve this, we are currently in the process of sequencing the genomes and/or exomes (i.e. the subset of the genome that contains protein coding genes) of approximately 300 children affected by these illnesses and, where possible, their unaffected family members. In total we will be sequencing the exomes of more than 1000 individuals. Data will be primarily be one of several standard data formats for genomic data. All large files will either be binary files or compressed and indexed text files. A small Postgres database is also needed for the webapp.
