This opportunity will fund the establishment of the GREGoRi Technology Integration Center, as part of the Genomics Research to Elucidate the Genetics of Rare Diseases: innovation (GREGoRi) initiative. The Center’s purpose is to enable the development of standards and best practices for applying new and emerging molecular methods in the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders. A major deliverable will be a multidimensional dataset to support the development and benchmarking of novel tools and strategies for rare disease diagnosis. This initiative seeks to accelerate a paradigm shift in rare disease diagnosis by leveraging innovative tools, molecular technologies, and analytical approaches to identify causal genes or variants.
