The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics (WTCHG) was established in 1994 to undertake research into the genetic basis of common diseases. Since June 1999 the centre has been located in the Henry Wellcome Building of Genomic Medicine, University of Oxford. The scientific objective of the centre is to explore all aspects of the genetic susceptibility of disease including the localisation of genes involved in common diseases, characterization of the variants responsible for susceptibility, the understanding of how these DNA variants may contribute to risk of disease in the population and finally, the understanding of how such genetic factors contribute biologically to a disease process. The centre houses multidisciplinary research teams in human genetics, functional genomics, bioinformatics, statistical genetics and structural biology.

生活至上——在 Wellcome Trust Center for Human Genetics 工作：DNA 侦探的苏格兰场

Wellcome Trust Center for Human Genetics (WTCHG) 成立于 1994 年，致力于研究常见疾病的遗传基础。自 1999 年 6 月以来，该中心一直位于牛津大学基因组医学的 Henry Wellcome 大楼。该中心的科学目标是探索疾病遗传易感性的所有方面，包括常见疾病相关基因的定位、易感性变异的特征、了解这些 DNA 变异如何导致疾病风险。最后，了解这些遗传因素如何在生物学上促进疾病过程。该中心拥有人类遗传学、功能基因组学、生物信息学、统计遗传学和结构生物学的多学科研究团队。
