The West German Genome Center (WGGC) will be funded by the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen in 2024-2025.
The WGGC was founded in 2019 as a joint competence center for state-of-the-art genome sequencing between the Universität zu Köln, the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf while also working closely with other partners such as the Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE) in Bonn. This competence center is now being expanded to include the RWTH Aachen University.
