Baylor Human Genome Sequencing Center - large-scale genomic sequencing contributor

The Human Genome Sequencing Center (HGSC) at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston was one of the major NIH-funded sequencing centers that contributed large-scale human DNA sequence data during the Human Genome Project era. Founded in the 1990s, the HGSC became an early adopter and developer of high-throughput, next-generation sequencing technologies for research and clinical applications. The center has led multiple national and international sequencing projects, including cancer genomics initiatives, establishing Houston as a significant hub for genomic sequencing infrastructure.
