Genomic healthcare data is critical to identify disease risk, ancestry, traits and response to medicines and aids in the development of new targeted therapies – precision medicines. In April 2003, after its launch in October 1990, the project was completed, generating the first sequence of the human genome.

2022 was a banner year for genomics. 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.

A study by the Qatar Genome Research Consortium, led by Dr Lotfi Chouchane from Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, has reported the first landscape of cancer germline mutations – hereditary mutations – in the Qatari population. . These variants increase the risk of developing breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. .

The development will include specialised laboratory spaces tailored for diagnostics, genomics, biotech and precision medicine businesses. UK Biobank hopes that its HQ relocation will enable it to collaborate easier across research, academia, business and the NHS. Willmott Dixon will be the lead contractor for the project.

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.

The cost of testing per human genome in 2006 was approximately $14 million , and in less than two decades, an average consumer-purchased genetic test costs $100. The same is becoming true for the healthcare industry, and one of the first major breakthroughs in the area was the 100,000 Genomes Project.
