GA can also be stand for Genetic Algorithm (one approach at data analysis not often used with sequencing data) or Global Arrays (one approach at using multiple processor to analyze data, also not often used in programs for analyzing sequencing data.
Michael.James.Clark's answer probably best addresses your question, but depending on where you saw GA it may mean any number of things.Comment

Many organizations study rare diseases, but few have a mission as impactful as Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM). “We are all about changing outcomes for children,” explained Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, President and CEO of the group. The institute’s initial goal was to provide rapid diagnoses for critically ill children and shorten their diagnostic odyssey, a term used to describe the long and arduous process it takes patients to obtain an accurate...12-16-2024, 07:57 AM
