Short answer

Several possible studies

No clear answer.

More than one paper fits the article's details, and none fits well enough to single out. Checking claims against the wrong study would be worse than not checking them at all.

Checked against the study summary. The full text wasn't available, so some details couldn't be settled either way.

Claim by claim

What the story asserts. With no source study, there is nothing to check these against.

Claim 1 of 5Not checkedThe Novo Nordisk Foundation has committed $53 million to renew and expand the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Genomic Mechanisms of Disease at the Broad Institute.View evidenceHide evidence

As stated$53 million

Not checked

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 2 of 5Not checkedThe funding will scale up the Center's transatlantic efforts to decode the biological drivers of type 2 diabetes and obesity and identify new targets for potential therapies by combining massive-scale data generation, artificial intelligence, and advanced cellular models.View evidenceHide evidence

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 3 of 5Not checkedThe Center says thousands of genetic variants have been linked to diabetes and obesity, but understanding the biology has remained a major challenge.View evidenceHide evidence

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 4 of 5Not checkedOver the next five years, researchers will aim to create hundreds of millions of detailed cell profiles, including from fat cells and brain cells grown from stem cells, and use the dataset to train specialized AI programs that predict how DNA changes disrupt cellular health.View evidenceHide evidence
