The DNA Patent Database, curated by Duke Institute for Genome Science and Policy and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University, is a searchable collection of DNA-based patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from 1971 to 2012 and patent applications from 2001 - 2012.

The ELSI Publications and Products Database is a collection of journal articles, books, and other materials that were produced with funding from the ELSI Research Program at the National Human Genome Research Institute.

ClinGen is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide a central resource that defines the clinical relevance of genes and variants for use in precision medicine and research.

The Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research (CSER) consortium is a national multi-site research program funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) that assesses the effectiveness of integrating genome sequencing into the clinical care of diverse and medically underserved individuals.

The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network, organized and funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), combines DNA biorepositories with electronic medical record (EMR) systems for large-scale, high-throughput genetic research in support of implementing genomic medicine.

The Implementing GeNomics In PracTicE (IGNITE) Pragmatic Clinical Trials Network, is a network of research sites that support the implementation of genomics in healthcare by conducting pragmatic clinical trials. The IGNITE I network, ended in 2018, focused on designing methods for incorporating genomic medicine into clinical settings. The IGNITE II network is focused on delivering genomic medicine in real-world clinical settings.

The Newborn Sequencing in Genomic Medicine and Public Health (NSIGHT) program funded research that explored the implications, challenges and opportunities associated with the possible use of genomic sequence information in the newborn period.

The Undiagnosed Diseases Network is a multi-site research study funded by the National Institutes of Health Common Fund that aims to improve diagnosis and care of patients with undiagnosed diseases by using advanced technologies and genetic data.

The Human Hereditary and Health in Africa (H3Africa) consortium includes 51 projects led by African scientists that use genetic, clinical, and epidemiologic methods to identify hereditary and environmental contributions to non-communicable and communicable diseases.

The Momentum blog is authored by the communications staff of Baylor College of Medicine with guest contributions from experts and members of the Baylor community. It covers health news, updates in medical education, and innovations in the medical community.
