The Center for Admixture Science and Technology (CAST) is one of the latest additions to the renowned Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS) funded by National Institutes of Health (NIH).
</p>

<p>
The goal of CAST is to improve the utility of genome science for all populations living in the United States by studying complex relationships between genetics, individual behavior, socioeconomic status, and environmental factors influencing health.
