The genomes of any two people are more than 99% identical, but seemingly minor variations between genomes contribute to each individual’s risk for developing disease. By tracing the inheritance of these genetic variants, scientists can discover previously unsuspected genes as key players in the underlying disease process.

The Broad Institute scientific community pursues a wide range of critical biomedical projects, both internal to Broad and in collaboration with the entire scientific community. Current major efforts include:
