Scientists are getting their first peek at the genes of nearly 100,000 Americans in what's considered a uniquely diverse genomic database.

Dr. Stephan Zuchner, a world-renowned geneticist and Chair of the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, talks about the research his team is doing to uncover the underlying genetic causes of diseases to better diagnose and treat patients. UM’s Miller School of Medicine’s genetics program is ranked number two in the nation.
