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. And in the UK specifically, genomics remained high on the national agenda, with several significant government programmes and investments announced – including the Newborn Genomes Programme in healthcare and the Precision Breeding Bill in the agricultural sector.
Such innovations are driven by the rapid evolution of genomics technologies that has taken place in recent years. Both long- and short-read sequencing today is faster, more affordable, and highly accurate, providing researchers with deep insights to fuel research. 2023 is set to usher...
