Genomics

The Genomics Platform has its roots in the Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research, which was the single-largest contributor to the Human Genome Project. More recently, the platform has been one of the world's largest producers of human genomic information, and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was one of the largest producers of COVID-19 diagnostic test results anywhere. The platform follows a path of ambitious achievement aimed at recognizing the promise of genomic medicine in the United States and throughout the world.

Data generated by the Genomics Platform has enabled a wide range of applications, from variant discovery to delivery of polygenic risk scores and clinical diagnoses, and contributed knowledge to a wide array of fields, from rare disease research to population genomics, from cancer clinical trials to understanding cell circuitry.
