Researchers at the Estonian biobank, which currently holds samples from more than 200,000 people, will sequence 10,000 genomes using PacBio’s long-read HiFi sequencing technology.
Early last year the University of Tartu received a 30-million-euro grant, partly from the European Commission and partly from the Estonian government, to develop a center of excellence for personalized medicine in the country.
Part of this funding will go towards sequencing the 10,000 genomes from the biobank and the rest will support the development of other aspects of precision medicine such as relevant clinical trials and better digital connectivity and analysis tools in Estonia.
The Estonian Biobank is based at the University of Tartu and was founded in 2000. It holds samples from 212,000 people,...
