We live in an era of plentiful genomic data, thanks to cheaper sequencing and better analysis platforms. But these crucial resources for human health are not easy to access — spread across the world, stored in very different ways, and subject to conflicting regulations. The scale of data generation presents new problems for collecting and comparing genomic information.

The Discovery Work Stream aims to build networks of tools that can search the world’s genomic wealth. Discovery products link data and services into a wider “internet of genomics” that will make precision medicine a reality for patients. In the future, your doctor will be able to search this “internet” and take into account your personal genetic makeup to choose better prescription medications and improve your overall health.
