The Wales Genomic Medicine Centre (GMC) is working with @GenomicsEngland to offer Welsh patients access to the pioneering 100,000 Genomes Project

[Genomics Partnership Wales (GPW) @GenomicsWales]

We're thrilled to announce that Catrin Middleton, Head of Programme for the Genomics for Precision Medicine Strategy, has been nominated in the 'Leadership for the Future' category at the Leading Wales Awards!

Best of luck for September, Catrin! 🎉🧬

Late in posting this, but we were very proud to win a STAR award for excellence in research last week. #GenomesRepresent @GenomicsWales @GenomicsEngland @ResearchWales @WalesGenePark

If the UK can no longer take part in European Reference Networks (ERNs) it will be at the expense of lives of patients and families in the UK and across the EU. Show your solidarity. Act now: https://t.co/biIhD5lWO6 #ProtectERNs

Delighted to announce that today we've reached our #Genomes100k milestone – we've hit 100,000! 🎉 We want to give a very public #100KThankYous to all the individuals and organisations involved as we look ahead to taking #genomic medicine mainstream https://t.co/rB6Rd71ZRh

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

Thank you for coming! Great turnout!!

Scots gene science "will change NHS": today our work provides positivity 😀 (alongside Brexit, Trump and the World Cup) on the front page of today's Scotsman! @aberdeenuni @dundeeuni @EdinburghUni @UofGlasgow @NHSResearchScot @CSO_Scotland @The_MRC https://t.co/yBp3lnZXa2

The NHS turns 70 today. As a forerunner of the genomic revolution, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks! #NHS70 #genomes100k

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

We know we’ve been quite for a while, but we’ve been busy bringing the genomic revolution to Welsh patients! Happy to announce that we have crossed the half way point – over 200 patients recruited!

@ataxiaandme @NAF_Ataxia Dewi wants me to pass on a message - "It's great to see fellow Dragon friends repping RD!"

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

Up until now I thought a Petabase was where flatbreads hung out. Such an amazing fact from the @sangerinstitute! https://t.co/VmwP1zTHXA

[Wellcome Sanger Institute @sangerinstitute]

We’ve now sequenced more than 5 Petabases of DNA. If you strung all the 5,000,000,000,000,000 #DNA bases together that our sequencing machines have read, then the result would be out of this world. #5petabases

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

Slightly delayed in posting this, but Dewi's finished counting the money raised for @rarediseaseuk in February. Here he is with his cheque for £200, which is on it's way! #RareDisease @GenomicsEngland

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

Saddened to hear of the death of Sir John Sulston. His work helped make the #genomes100k project possible.

The genome pioneer - dies aged 75.

@ataxiaandme @am_sheffgenet @SheffieldBRC Not a problem at all, Alan. Thank you for continuing to spread the word about #RareDisease @genomicsedu @GenomicsEngland

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Happy St David's Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Dewi dropped by the office today to say hello! He's never seen snow before so had some fun in the field behind our office.

He enjoyed it less being forced into our daffodil hat.

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

According to "The UK's National Diet and Nutrition Survey" in 2014 the likelihood of an adult being a vegetarian in the UK is 2.6%

That's roughly 1 in 40

If my sources are correct...

You are more than twice as likely to have a rare disease than be an adult vegetarian https://t.co/jwbKGUwuTc

[SWAN UK (syndromes without a name) @SWAN_UK]

So I've been thinking about what it means to have a rare condition. #1in17 doesn't really translate all that well for Nenna.

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

This month, to celebrate @RareDiseaseDay and going active in the #genomes100k project, we have been collecting money for @RareDiseaseUK through the staff tuck shop. We’ve counted our takings and we’ve raised over £150! Many thanks to all who have donated, it’s for a great cause!

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

@SWAN_UK @GenomicsEngland @ScottishGenomes Absolutely! Genetic diagnoses are looked for in hopes we can support families better. If the delivery of the results does the opposite then we need to correct the process.

[WalesGMC @WalesGMC]

@RhysWebb_9 Today @rarediseaseday is celebrated globally,raising awareness for ppl affected by rarediseases. Wales recently joined the #genomes100k project,(check it out!), but there is still lots to do. Why not support @GeneticAll_UK who run @SWAN_UK, @rarediseaseuk & 200 other patient orgs
