The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)/National
Toxicology Program (NTP) is accepting nominations of environmentally responsive
genes and suggestions of criteria that could be used to prioritize these genes.
The request for nominations was published in today’s Federal Register: the
complete notice is available at:
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-07-29/html/2013-18058.htm
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-07-29/pdf/2013-18058.pdf
NTP is planning to compile a comprehensive and prioritized list of
environmentally responsive genes that might be targets for screening cell or
tissues obtained from humans, rats, mice, zebrafish, and Caenorhabditis elegans
against large numbers of substances. The goal is to generate a minimum list of
1000 genes for each species that would provide the maximal toxicogenomic
information on (1) effects that reflect general cellular responses, independent
of cell type or species, and (2) gene expression changes that are specific by
organ and/or cell type.
Nominated genes and/or recommendations on prioritization criteria should be
submitted electronically in Microsoft Excel or Word formats to
Genelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:Genelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>. The submission deadline
is August 23, 2013. For more information, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Maull
at maull@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:maull@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
