About Us | Genomics England
Genomics England will play a key role in embedding whole genome sequencing as part of routine healthcare. Genomics England joined the national effort to help combat the pandemic through the COVID-19 GenOMICC Study. Findings are already helping doctors make better decisions about how to treat patients with COVID-19.
Genomic Medicine - Genomics England
Genomic medicine combines these two elements, using the science of genomics alongside information about a person's health to improve diagnosis and treatment. At Genomics England, we partner with the NHS to provide platforms that enable genomics to be used to diagnose more accurately, treat more effectively, or even spot conditions before ...

Genomics England announces list of rare conditions to be …
Today (2 October 2023), Genomics England have published an initial list of over 200 rare conditions that will be looked for as part of its world-leading Generation Study, which aims to start in NHS hospitals in late 2023. The Generation Study is an NHS-embedded research study which aims to understand whether sequencing babies’ genomes can ...
Genomics in the UK
The UK has the unique benefit of the NHS. The ability to link a whole lifetime of medical records with a person’s genome data on a large scale can help to understand disease and to tease apart the complex relationship between our genes, what happens to us in our lives, and illness. The unified health system also enables systematic ...
Origins - Genomics England
The story behind us and The 100,000 Genomes Project. Genomics England began as a vessel to execute the UK Government's bold plan to sequence 100,000 whole genomes and incorporate genomic medicine into routine care in the NHS, a feat we achieved in 2018 after just 5 years. Though recruitment to the Project has ended, its impacts are still being ...
Understanding genomics - Genomics England
The building blocks of genomes. Your genome is all 3.2 billion letters of your DNA. It contains around 20,000 genes. Genes are the instructions for making the proteins our bodies are built of – from the keratin in hair and fingernails to the antibody proteins that fight infection. Genes make up about 1-5% of your genome.
NHS Genomic Medicine Service - Genomics England
The NHS Genomic Medicine Service (NHS GMS) is the arm of the NHS working to enable the NHS to harness the power of genomic technology and science to improve the health of our population. The aims of the NHS GMS are to provide: Consistent and equitable care for the country’s 55 million people. A single National Genomic Test Directory covering ...
Genomics England and Illumina partner to deliver whole genome…
Genomics England and Illumina today announced a new agreement to deliver up to 300,000 whole genome equivalents over the next five years, with an option to increase to 500,000. Samples will be provided through the NHS Genomic Medicine Service and the network of seven genomic laboratory hubs across England, which were established in 2018. This supports NHS England’s ambition to lead the world ...
