Part of our mission at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology is to help provide every person the opportunity to join the conversation on how genomics influences our everyday lives. The 2019 IGB Annual Report allows us to showcase the universal relevance of genomics in settings familiar, comforting, or sometimes even unexpected.

We’ve translated the annual report experience to a digital format for the 2019 edition, with new ways to explore and enjoy the stories of the past year. We welcome you to begin at www.igb.illinois.edu/ar2019. 

Our thanks to the support and involvement of our community of partners, stakeholders, donors, legislators, and citizens, without which the work we do would not be possible.
