One of the main aims of the 100,000 Genomes Project was to improve cancer care for NHS patients through personalised medicine. This page covers the way the project met this aim. Cancer can be ...

New research shows almost 90% of people in England would agree to genetic testing to get the most effective medication and reduce the risk of side effects 85% thought that the NHS should offer ...

In this episode, our guests explore the impact of genetic discoveries on inherited retinal dystrophies, in particular retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The discussion highlights a recent study that ...

In this series, ‘Genomics 101’, we go back to basics and explore some of the most important topics in genomics. In this blog, we explain what it means to go on a diagnostic odyssey. The term ‘odyssey’ ...

Before we dive into variants of uncertain significance, it is first useful to understand the term ‘gene’. A gene is a section of DNA that contains a specific instruction about how we develop, function ...

New research using data from the 100,000 Genomes Project has identified a genetic change that drives osteosarcoma – an aggressive childhood bone cancer. This research provides insights that could ...

The Genome Analysis team at Genomics England are working to develop cutting-edge genome analysis approaches to apply in the clinic. They aim to enable world-leading personalised healthcare that is ...

The Generation Study will be testing babies for changes in genes linked to more than 200 rare genetic conditions. These all meet a set of four principles that have guided our approach to choosing ...

The Genomics England Research Network is a collaborative initiative, offering members opportunities to share and leverage expertise and resources, with the academic researchers, healthcare ...

We're working in partnership with NHS England and the NHS Genomic Medicine Service to develop a personalised and predictive healthcare solution through the use of genomics. Genomic medicine uses ...

This short video explains what the Genomics England Research Environment is, how genomic data is de-identified and added to the Research Environment, and how researchers can access this de-identified ...

Every year hundreds of babies are born in the UK with rare genetic conditions. Early intervention can enhance the health and quality of life of many of these babies. But these conditions can be hard ...
