Molecular Phenotypes
of Null Alleles in Cells

A program to better understand the function of every human gene and generate a catalogue of the molecular and cellular consequences of inactivating genes.

gene list

Phase 1 will focus on 1,000 protein-coding genes, exploring different ways to knock out gene function.

About the MorPhiC Program

The MorPhiC program aims to develop a consistent catalog of molecular and cellular phenotypes for null alleles for every human gene by using in-vitro multicellular systems. The catalog will be made available for broad use by the biomedical community. The program will start with a Phase 1 to optimize available methods to create null alleles and measure their phenotypic effects in a target subset of 1,000 protein coding genes across the program.
