2021 Science Writers' Boot Camp | Making the Perfect Match

Although there are millions of genetic variants, scientists have only found a small percentage of genetic variants that influence our health. Ada Hamosh and Nara Sobreira are among a number of researchers who dedicate their careers to helping families find the genetic culprits in rare conditions. To help move the field forward, they developed the innovative online tool GeneMatcher. The interactive database is used around the globe to speed the novel disease gene discovery process by connecting the work of genetic investigators. #ScienceWritersBootCamp #JohnsHopkins
