When the draft of the genetic instruction book was first published, the text was 'as striking for what we don't see as for what we do.' SN100
? What does the National Human Genome Research Institute do now that researchers have generated end-to-end sequences of every human chromosome?We recently finished a two-and-a-half-year strategic planning process to ask that very question for this coming decade. It was actually an overwhelming exercise because there were so many good ideas. We published— our 2020 strategic vision. Some of it [is] applications of genomics to medicine. Of course, everybody’s going to be excited about that.
Also, we will continue to think about the implications of these genomic advances to society. How are we going to make sure people understand this? How are we going to make sure things are applied equitably? How are we going to make sure it doesn’t exacerbate inequities in our society? How are we going to deal with a whole host of issues related to privacy?
, or ELSI research, which has attempted to anticipate these concerns and try to provide an evidence base to build policies, and in some cases, laws., which offers some protection against genetic discrimination. We have laws and policies that protect people’s medical information.
