NGEC Publications
The interdisciplinary work of the Northwest Genome Engineering Consortium (NGEC) has led to considerable scientific progress. As of December 2012, 38 publications are directly attributable to the work in the seven consortium laboratories.
In addition, the laboratories funded through the NGEC Pilot Project grants have published at least thirteen manuscripts that can be found here.
