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.

However, more immeasurable characteristics such as personality, behaviour, and even intelligence are all influenced by genetics to varying degrees. All that DNA is organised into hereditary units called genes, with humans having about 25,000 genes collectively known as the genome. Each human cell has 1.8

The group analysed 12,222 samples collected through whole genome sequencing efforts of the UK National Health Service as part of the 100,000 Genomes Project and added further data on 6,418 cancers from the International Cancer Genome Consortium and the Hartwig Medical Foundation. Both teams had the same underlying goal.
