Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Welcome to Broad!

Today, we launch a new Cell Observatory, find mutations in a quiet genome, and put MitoExome sequencing to the test. We also get a closer look at a tiny but powerful chip. Whether it be scientific data, analytical tools, or even a job, we hope you find something of interest at this unique place.

Broad Institute awarded $32.5M grant to launch new ‘Cell Observatory’ Klarman Family Foundation funds groundbreaking collaborative effort to systematically map the wiring of human cells	From a quiet genome, a new cancer gene emerges Researchers find mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia	MitoExome sequencing highlights promise, challenges of genetic diagnostics Researchers benchmark a sequencing technique intended to make the journey toward mitochondrial disorder diagnosis easier	A close-up look at a tiny, yet powerful, chip New core member Paul Blainey's microfluidic device shuttles cells through tiny channels to prepare single genomes for sequencing
Data Wherever your interests lie, data from across the Broad can be accessed from this starting point	Software Scientists in the Broad community have developed many critical software tools for the analysis of increasingly large genome-related datasets, and they make these tools openly available to the scientific community	Careers We are always looking for new team members to help us tackle important problems at the cutting edge of science	Our Approach The Broad Institute is essentially an “experiment” in a new way of doing science
