NIH genome sequencing program targets the genomic bases of common, rare diseases.
by increasing the number of genomes that are sequenced, they aim to improve their understandings of how genomic differences among people increase the probability of diseases. They also aim to improve medications and diagnoses with the use of the information from this program.
