In order to achieve this goal, the National Genome Center's core mission is, in cooperation with the Danish Regions and universities, to establish and operate a national technological infrastructure with sufficient capacity to handle a significant increase in the use of whole genome sequencing in the Danish healthcare system and associated needs for data analysis, interpretation, storage, knowledge sharing, and research.

The center is expected to become an organization with a core of approx. 40 employees including a separate organization in relation to IT infrastructure (HPC systems, etc.).
