A nonprofit medical research organization dedicated to uniting people everywhere under the common goal of improving health and deepening our understanding of DNA — the code of life.
Join usDecoding the human genome is one of the most exciting scientific pursuits of our time. By understanding the human genome we will map the mechanisms of health, biology and evolution, helping to unravel the mysteries of life itself.
At the center of every living thing is a simple alphabet of four chemical bases: A, T, C, and G. These letters form DNA, and the sequence they create is what we mean by genetics, the code of life. DNA reveals what makes us unique. Some traits come from our genes, others from the world around us, and together they create the individuality in all of us.
Our model creates a cycle of mutual benefit. When members contribute their data, it fuels discoveries that advance research. Those discoveries lead to new insights and progress that flow back to members and society, creating lasting impact for everyone.
When you take part, you help drive genetic discoveries that can benefit you and the world around you. Your contribution fuels breakthroughs that uncover answers to some of the biggest questions in health and opens the door to deeper understanding, earlier prevention, and better care. Together, we can make discoveries that truly change lives.
