Structure of Genomes: Continuing research to elucidate and define the structure of genomes.
Biology of Genomes: Acquiring basic knowledge about genome structure and function, and developing more comprehensive sets (catalogues) of data and new research tools to enhance the capabilities of all researchers to reveal fundamental principles of biology.
Biology of Disease: Using genomics to understand both normal and disease-related functions of the genetic and epigenetic contributors to disease and the cellular pathways and biological processes in which they are involved, an understanding critical to developing improved strategies for diagnosis, prevention and therapeutic intervention.
Science of Medicine: Research to bring genomic discoveries to the bedside, from initial findings indicating potential benefits, to clinical studies to demonstrate efficacy and effectiveness.
Effectiveness of Healthcare: Providing the healthcare benefits of genomics through electronic medical/health records, demonstrating the effectiveness of genomic medicine, increasing access to genomic medicine, and educating healthcare professionals, patients and public.
