The human genome contains all the information (DNA) molecules, cells and tissues need to develop and function. Our mission is to understand how our genome works and how changes in DNA influence human health and cause disease. We combine the latest computational and experimental technologies, bringing together people across disciplines to deliver on this mission. Better genome interpretation is critical for the diagnosis of, and the development of better-tailored and new treatments for genetic diseases including cancer.
