 About CEGS
The National Human Genome Research Institute has awarded USC $18.7 million to establish a center that will develop faster ways to identify genes that cause disease. The USC Center of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS) will unite scientists from the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences with colleagues at the Keck School of Medicine of USC in an international effort to catalog human genetic variations.
“We will focus on developing and testing new experimental and computational techniques that will increase our ability to find disease-related genes and extract other useful knowledge from the human genome,” said computational biologist Michael Waterman, the principal investigator.
"Smith-Waterman was Mike’s first major contribution to computational biology,as well as computational biology’s first contribution to biology.Mike is always the first to realize the importance of a problem.

"The future of genetics lies in training people in both experimental and computational approaches. That way, they can make use of the mass of genetic data that has piled up.
