The need for a centralized core facility for human genome research at SickKids Hospital prompted the establishment of The Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG) in 1998.
In 2004, TCAG entered a second phase of development driven by a $12 million CFI/ Ontario Innovation Trust funded project entitled "Integrative Genomics for Health Research",[REF] allowing for consolidation of the mouse genotyping core with the SickKids facilities.
