Genomics 101 - What is a genome?

We're going back to basics today, and in this explainer podcast, we’ve asked Greg Elgar, Director of Sequencing R&D here at Genomics England, to clarify in less than 10 minutes, exactly what is a genome.

You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel.
