100,000 Genomes Project - Genomics England
The 100,000 Genomes Project was a British initiative to sequence and study the role our genes play in health and disease. Recruitment was completed in December 2018, although research and analysis is still ongoing. Our participants have already helped us find actionable results for many patients with rare diseases and cancer.
First newborn babies tested for over 200 genetic conditions as…
3 Oct 2024. Hundreds of babies have begun to be tested for over 200 rare genetic conditions as part of a world-leading study in NHS hospitals that aims to screen up to 100,000 newborns in England. The Generation Study, led by Genomics England in partnership with NHS England, will see newborn babies offered whole genome sequencing using blood ...
About Us | Genomics England
Genomics England will play a key role in embedding whole genome sequencing as part of routine healthcare. Genomics England joined the national effort to help combat the pandemic through the COVID-19 GenOMICC Study. Findings are already helping doctors make better decisions about how to treat patients with COVID-19.
Genomic Medicine - Genomics England
How we work at Genomics England. Genomic medicine uses an individual's genomic information as part of their clinical care. Advances in science and technology, along with collaboration with the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS), provides a unique way to integrate genomic medicine into routine care.
A vision for the future of genomic healthcare - Genomics England
9 Dec 2020. In September 2020, the UK Government published Genome UK, a vision for the next ten years of genomic healthcare. This National Genomic Healthcare Strategy sets out a plan to deliver the future of care in the NHS by enabling the provision of world-leading genomic healthcare to patients in the UK and across the world. Over the next 10 ...
Origins - Genomics England
The story behind us and The 100,000 Genomes Project. Genomics England began as a vessel to execute the UK Government's bold plan to sequence 100,000 whole genomes and incorporate genomic medicine into routine care in the NHS, a feat we achieved in 2018 after just 5 years. Though recruitment to the Project has ended, its impacts are still being ...
Understanding genomics - Genomics England
The building blocks of genomes. Your genome is all 3.2 billion letters of your DNA. It contains around 20,000 genes. Genes are the instructions for making the proteins our bodies are built of – from the keratin in hair and fingernails to the antibody proteins that fight infection. Genes make up about 1-5% of your genome.
Research Environment - Genomics England
Enabling scientific discovery and accelerating it into patient care. All analysis on the Genomics England dataset happens within a secure, cloud workspace called the Research Environment. To access the data, researchers must first apply to become a member of either the Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (academics, students ...
COVID-19 Study - Genomics England
Genomics England worked in partnership with the GenOMICC consortium, led by the University of Edinburgh, to analyse the whole genome sequences of approximately 20,000 people who have been severely affected by COVID-19. These cases, which were severe enough to require admission to intensive care, were then compared to 15,000 other genomes from ...
