Scottish Genomes

We are a team of scientists and doctors pioneering Scottish research in Human Genome discovery. Account was administered by team SGP but is currently silent.

SGP funding has now finished and this account will cease tweeting for now, but new exciting things are happening in the many corners of what was SGP. Follow these for more information: @vikinggenes @MRC_IGMM @HERU_Abdn @WWCRC_GPOL

Today we say farewell to @ScottishGenomes Project Manager Wendy Inglis Humphrey. Best wishes for everything the future Wendy!

Brilliant to see @UofGlasgow’s Dr Susie Cooke from @WWCRC_GPOL presenting today at #FoG2020, highlighting not only the importance of #genomics research, but the deeply personal nature of cancer care for all of us 👩‍🔬🧬

will be discussed in the Health Economics Satellite for the "Genomic Medicine - Moving Beyond the Sequence" meeting on 1st July. Registration is now open: https://t.co/G4qONgsGpd

[HERU @HERU_Abdn]

Later in April we featured on-going research with @ScottishGenomes to place children and families at the centre of new genetic testing - our study on the broader benefits of replacing the rare disease diagnostic odyssey continues https://t.co/AGTzu8laj1

[Shona M Kerr @shona_kerr]

I'll be speaking about some of our @vikinggenes research @mrc_hgu at this “Genetics, Genomics and the Law” satellite workshop in Edinburgh on Monday June 29th https://t.co/MNBGewDlTb

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

We're excited that registration is now open for “Genomic Medicine - Moving Beyond the Sequence” with @GenomicsEngland @BritSocGenMed in Edinburgh on 30th June.
Full details here: https://t.co/G4qONgsGpd including satellites on Law (June 29th) and Health Economics (July 1st).

Genetic study seeks people with Northern Isles ancestry https://t.co/DqEzS582XG

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

The genomes for all Scottish families in #Genomes100k have now completed initial review by @GenomicsEngland & most have been analysed by @Congenica. But bear with us if you're waiting for results... lots of checks still needed by NHS Scotland Genetics @NHSNSS @CSO_Scotland

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

Great to see the VIKING genes project moving on to phase 2. Consider signing up if you have 2+ grandparents from Orkney or Shetland.

Looks like there's a bit of a rush on tickets for this year's Festival of Genomics. Get yours here https://t.co/0ngosU5w0g

[The Festival of Genomics & Biodata @FoGenomics]

https://t.co/WzDO38ogyL Tickets are starting to run low for what will be a sell-out event at this year's Festival of Genomics! Hear from the likes of @CSOSue, @chris_wigley, CEO at Genomics England and many more! #genomics #genomicsfest #fog2020 #healthcare

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

Are you going to the Festival of Genomics this year? Our #cancer bioinformatics lead Dr Susie Cooke will be sharing progress on development of a pan-cancer genomic assay for use in routine clinical care https://t.co/ARICBvz2Vp @FLGenomics @WWCRC_GPOL #PrecisionMedicine

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

In the holiday spirit, there is now some background about @LynnesLoom on our website https://t.co/GeyyUavFWe #sciencegifts #genetics #notjustaprojectmanager

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

Lovely to see DNA sequence weaving @LynnesLoom (known to some as our #genomes100k project manager) on the front cover of an international scientific journal. Related pieces here of you're looking genetics related gifts: https://t.co/lbgeOVonbg

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

This looks set to be a terrific event, not least because Dr Susie Cooke, Head of Medical Genomics @WWCRC_GPOL and the SGP cancer analysis pipeline lead will be speaking about her latest work.

[The Festival of Genomics & Biodata @FoGenomics]

Registration for the largest #genomics event in the UK is now open!

The Festival of Genomics 2020 promises to be a unique experience, a crossroads for the entire genomics ecosystem to discover, meet, learn, have fun and celebrate. #FoG2020 #genomicsfest

It was great to be involved in this to make sure she understands what's needed to implement in NHS service

[MRC_HGU @mrc_hgu]

Last month Jeane Freeman MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport visited the Unit to see first-hand the research space, facilities and affiliated NHS laboratories which underpin our research. @JeaneF1MSP @scotgovhealth #GeneticDisease #NHS https://t.co/1JfEaL1Fdc

Our colleagues working at @WWCRC_GPOL and wider colleagues through @precisionpanc continue to seek better outcomes for those diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer #WorldPancreaticCancerAwarenessDay #Genomics

[UofG MVLS @UofGMVLS]

The @UofGlasgow tower turned purple tonight to mark #WorldPancreaticCancerAwarenessDay and to celebrate 5yrs of our #WorldChanging Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre 💜

Our UofG-led @precisionpanc programme takes a #PrecisionMedicine approach to treat patients with the disease

[Scottish Genomes @ScottishGenomes]

Great to see this research on new genomic #cancer tests progressing so well. We are proud to have supported this through Scottish Genomes Partnership funding @CSO_Scotland @The_MRC #CuttingEdgeGenomics

[UofG MVLS @UofGMVLS]

The Glasgow Cancer Tests are ground-breaking new #cancer tests developed by @UofGlasgow's @WWCRC_GPOL, and designed to be used in routine healthcare to enable patients to benefit from more #PrecisionMedicine cancer treatments

@RaymondHewitt @WalesGenePark @GenomicsEngland @GenomicsWales @MedGenWales @ResearchWales Thanks Raymond. We are only allowed to sequence DNA through research studies. We are not currently recruiting, but hope to open recruitment soon for whole genome sequencing for rare undiagnosed conditions where there may be a genetic component.
