In this series, ‘Genomics 101’, we go back to basics and explore some of the most important topics in genomics. In this blog, we explain the term ‘bioinformatics’, and how it is used in health research. 

In this series, ‘Genomics 101’, we go back to basics and explore some of the most important topics in genomics. In this blog, we answer the question: Are genetic conditions always inherited from parents? 

New research has uncovered 2 neurodevelopmental disorders using data from the National Genomic Research Library. These findings have led to new diagnoses for patients and families, opening doors for potential future treatments. 

 In this series, ‘Genomics 101’, we go back to basics and explore some of the most important topics in genomics. In this blog, we explain the meaning of ‘no primary findings.’ 

Research on data from the 100,000 Genomes Project has developed an algorithm to identify easier-to-treat tumours. This could be revolutionary in our progress towards personalised approaches to cancer.

Whole genome sequencing allows us look at lots of different genes with one single test. In this blog, we explain what it’s like to get whole genome sequencing, and how it may lead to a diagnosis.
