In 2016, scientists behind a study called the Resilience Project analysed genetic data from 589,000+ people and found 13 adults who carried genetic variants that should have resulted in serious – even deadly – childhood disease, but who were apparently healthy. Giving participants something in return.

From a general healthcare perspective, access to this sort of data is invaluable, but this is particularly noteworthy in that DNA tests have historically been limited in these regions on account of cost and availability of practitioners, services and resources.

In March, the collaborative T2T consortium published the first complete telomere-to-telomere sequence of the human genome, filling in the last 8% of the 3 billion base pairs that make up our DNA. Moreover, research has shown that genetic testing can reduce adverse reactions to drugs by nearly one third.

Automated Biobanking. Automated Biobanking is an approach to radically reduce the manual tasks involved in properly storing, labeling, authenticating, and monitoring samples, as well as increasing the ease of displaying much of their data values and making sample retrieval easier.

Breakthroughs in gene therapy are only possible with an exact understanding of the genetic underpinnings of disease. Visualising the whole genome is especially useful when sequencing new organisms, or stretches of DNA with many repeats or translocations, which are difficult to see from short sections of DNA code.

Biobanks are used for the coordination of high-yield patient sample collection. Moreover, biobanks are no longer passive biorepositories for accrual of samples and serve a more utilitarian function in identifying and coordinating specific research cohorts for longitudinal and prospective studies.
