CGAP PORTAL (HMS-BGM)

Welcome to CGAP!

CGAP is the Computational Genome Analysis Platform.

We are a team of scientists, clinicians, and developers who aim to streamline the clinical genetics workflow.

• For useful information about CGAP's features, see the CGAP informational site.

• CGAP is orchestrated technology capable of being easily deployed in hospital setting. Our flagship site is CGAP-MGB.

  For information on how to set your hospital up to use this technology, contact us.

• CGAP is an open source system under continuous development. For documentation, see the CGAP Portal page at ReadTheDocs.
• For information about governance and other policies, see the CGAP Governance repository.
