The main objectives are to comprehensively characterize the genomic diversity of the Swiss
population, identify variants of medical relevance, and support the development of
personalized medicine strategies. By collecting high-quality reference genomes, the project
creates a benchmark for interpreting genomic information in both rare and common
diseases. Moreover, it aims to strengthen national research infrastructures and contribute to
broader European genomic initiatives, such as “Genome of Europe,” while maintaining strict
ethical and data protection standards.
