Institute for Comparative Genomics - American Museum of Natural History

In May 2001, the Museum announced the establishment of the Institute for Comparative Genomics (ICG). The Institute is a preeminent center for collections, research, and training in the field of non-human comparative genomics and pursues seminal research in the study of gene variation, which informs our understanding of the human genome, the evolution and history of life, and the conservation of Earth's biodiversity.
