About the MPG Primer Series:
The Medical and Population Genetics (MPG) Program at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard brings together a community of researchers—including geneticists, computational biologists, and clinicians—to understand the genetic basis of human disease. The MPG Primer series is designed to introduce core concepts and new methodologies in human genetics to the broader scientific community.

About the Broad Institute:
The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard was launched in 2004 to empower creative scientists of all kinds to transform medicine at this pivotal moment in the history of human health. The institute is dedicated to accelerating the understanding and treatment of disease through collaboration and the free sharing of data and tools.
