GHGA is a research network that collaborates with national and international partners, ensuring strong integration within biomedical research. These collaborations support the adoption of internationally compatible data-sharing standards and foster connections between national and global initiatives.
The aim of Model Project Genome Sequencing is to bring genomic medicine into standard care. The resulting genome data is archived in GHGA and, with the patient's consent, made available for research.

In addition we work closely with the Alliance of Chronic Rare Diseases e.V. (ACHSE), which represents individuals with chronic rare diseases and their families in Germany, as well as with the National Action League for People with Rare Diseases (NAMSE) and the Solve-RD European research program. The goal is to establish a reference genome collection and provide tailored workflows addressing the needs of the rare disease community.
In the application process, GHGA received Letters of Support from the following institutions and societies:
