The @UK_Biobank has announced the world’s most detailed whole genome database. In it, the genetic code of 500K volunteers will be sequenced by @SangerInstitute and @deCODEgenetics using Illumina’s NovaSeq system.

[Wellcome Sanger Institute @sangerinstitute]

The Whole Genome Sequencing project will become a game-changing resource in understanding, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of life-changing diseases.

It's here! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Sequel II System, reducing project costs & timelines with approximately eight times the data output compared to the previous Sequel System. Look at that beauty! 1/3
