Genome sequencing can help us better understand, diagnose and treat disease. For example, healthcare providers are increasingly using genome sequencing to diagnose rare genetic diseases, such as .
In addition, we recently published two open-source methods that improve genetic discovery by more accurately identifying disease labels and improving the use of health measurements in genetic association studies.
We hope that our work developing and sharing these methods with those in the field of genomics will improve overall health and the understanding of biology for everyone. Working together with our collaborators, we can apply this work to real-world applications.
