The HGSC at BCM was one of the five centers to complete the Human Genome Project. Since that time, the HGSC pioneered both the field of personal genomics through whole genome sequencing of individuals and the 'exome capture' methods that are now routinely used for genetic diagnostics.

The HGSC has been funded to a level of more than half a billion dollars since inception and maintains a national leadership position in advancing genome technologies in the clinic.
