The Wellcome Sanger Institute sequenced its share of 500,000 whole human genomes, contributing to the world’s largest single set of sequencing data
A team of scientists working in Ghana have pioneered on-site genomic surveillance to track changes in the malaria parasite, achieving sampling to sequencing within 48 hours. This will guide local interventions and policy in near real-time.
Quotient’s Somatic Genomics platform reveals new approaches to treating disease based on the vast genetic variation present in the body’s trillions of cells
Scientists have discovered that “cell competition” following gene therapy may influence blood cancer risk, such as leukaemia.
