Texas Institute for Genome Sciences and Society
Description
Texas A&M University, the flagship institution of The Texas A&M University System, announced a new research initiative that will revolutionize scientific discovery and fundamentally reshape the world during the 21st century. The Whole Systems Genomics Initiative (WSGI), a strong faculty conceived program at Texas A&M University developed as part of the Chancellor’s Research Initiative (CRI) will define the future of genomic science, enabling researchers to address some of the most pressing challenges facing modern society through innovative and collaborative scholarly programs. While recent advances in technology have led to impactful discoveries in deciphering and engineering genomes, the next era of genomic science will push the frontiers of discovery as researchers work together in a coordinated effort to identify novel applications for this new knowledge.
