Aggregating Data

Visitors are invited to explore galleries highlighting key discoveries and transformative insights in biomedicine.

FedRAMP certification enables federal agencies, or federally funded projects, to engage more deeply with the cloud computing system for handling sensitive data.

Multiyear partnership brings together advanced technology, industry expertise and scale to help researchers interpret an unprecedented amount of biomedical data and derive insights to advance the treatment of human diseases

Analyses of the largest publicly available catalog of human genomic data reveal new details on rare types of genetic variation and provide better tools for genetic disease diagnosis and drug development.

Cancer cells that have lost a copy of a critical gene may be vulnerable to therapies that knock out the remaining copy

Researchers develop a new microscopy system for creating maps of cells, using chemical reactions to encode spatial information

Based on the largest resource of its kind, members of the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) led by scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard report scientific findings from data on the exome sequences (protein-coding portions of the genome) from 60,706 people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Containing over 10 million DNA variants – many very rare and most identified for the first time – the ExAC dataset is a freely available, high-resolution catalog of human genetic variation that has already made a major impact on clinical research and diagnosis of rare genetic diseases.
