| The Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University Medical School focuses on the large scale generation and analysis of DNA sequence. We play a leadership role in The Human Genome Project , constructing the clone map and contributing 25% of the finished sequence. To better understand the human genome sequence and to advance the study of biology, we also have sequenced the genomes of other species as can be found in these pages.
The open sharing of genomics methodology and the rapid release of sequence data via our website serves to empower other researchers and facilitates the elucidation of gene function, forming the ultimate basis for an understanding of how DNA sequence dictates the form and function of an organism, both in health and in disease.
| We work in concert with a number of other genome sequencing centers around the world.
