Genomics England analyses sequenced genomes for the NHS and then equips researchers to use data to help find the cause of disease.

A world-first study using data on the 100,000 Genomes Project, and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, has demonstrated for the first time that whole genome sequencing (WGS) can uncover new diagnoses for people across the broadest range of rare diseases investigated to date and could deliver enormous benefits across the NHS.

Through our secure Research Environment, approved researchers can access and analyse data in the National Genomic Research Library (NGRL). The NGRL is a repository of genomic and health data, including data from those participants recruited for the 100,000 Genomes Project, and from patients recruited and consented via the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS).

Who we are and what we do at Genomics England, from our origin to the current mission and beyond.

Anyone who is offered whole genome sequencing as part of their care in the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS) is asked to consent to having their genome sequence and health data and/or their sample (blood/saliva/tissue, etc.), accessible for research. It's your choice. If you agree, your samples will be stored securely and your data will be added to the National Genomic Research Library, a ...

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 conditions.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is the process of reading a person's entire genetic code. It adds new dimensions to patient diagnosis and treatment and unlocks more information than conventional standard of care genetic testing. This can aid in making diagnoses and tailoring treatments for patients ...

If you're a patient of the NHS Genomic Medicine Service, you may be offered whole genome sequencing as part of your clinical care.You will be asked if you want to donate genome sequence and health data, and/or your sample (blood/saliva/tissue, etc.), for research.

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. Your genome is the instructions for making and maintaining you. It is written in a chemical code called DNA. All living things ...

The UK has often led the world in scientific breakthroughs and DNA was no exception. Crick and Watson won the Nobel Prize for discovering the double helix structure of DNA.
