Excited to make the move to @bsky.app … and already enjoying the clear views. You can find me there @rich-genomics.bsky.social

A @CancerGrand project including researchers from the Crick, @uclnews and @GenomicsEngland has shown that rogue genetic material called ecDNA could potentially be targeted to improve responses to cancer therapies https://t.co/VJPuW8hMhW

Today the government announced a new partnership with Oxford Nanopore designed to enable genomics-based research and bring the benefits of innovative technologies to patients. We are proud to be part of it. Find out more: https://t.co/Wg4ZjuQfrA @nanopore

⬇️Our Policy Director, Nick Meade, representing at @eurordis #CNA Council of National Alliances and sharing both challenges and areas of progress. Learn more about what we do and how we do it

Our UK alliance shared their focus on keeping rare diseases on the agenda with a new government. ✊ @GeneticAll_UK They've made major strides in genomics, including the 100,000 Genomes Project and the Generation Study, trialling newborn screening via genome sequencing. 🧬

@peterkyle @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk @SciTechgovuk As just one example of our work with some of these extraordinary people, last year we were proud to help @zigaavsec and team at @GoogleDeepMind test their AlphaMissense tool -

We feel lucky by the range of partners we are working with from including superstars in academia and the NHS to leaders in industry like @insitro, @instadeepai and @GoogleDeepMind @DaphneKoller @kbeguir @zigaavsec

There's so much potential to drive better, more efficient care e.g. by - better 'reading' of genome data - improving curation of knowledge - speeding up clinical interpretation and reporting - discovering new biomarkers - better classifying patients for clinical trials

A key part of our work is to help validate not just the safety but also the equity of impact and that the reearch and the tools live up to our, the public's and our participants' expectations on data privacy

A great example of the UK leading in life sciences to - drive better health - drive innovation & growth We're excited @GenomicsEngland at our role in testing and, where proven, supporting the @NHS to implement genomic innovations that build on this & other ML/AI-led approaches

So richly deserved @demishassabis, John Jumper and David Baker - an extraordinary leap, leveraging the (some itself Nobel prize winning) work of many over decades... to fastforward our understanding of biology and ability to innovate across so many applications to improve health

The first newborns have been tested for 200+ rare genetic conditions as Genomics England embarks on its Generation Study. Dr Charlott Repschläger writes more about this revolutionary study in BioNews: https://t.co/NhKZL6EowS

👉 Out now @NatureRevGenet: we CAN and we SHOULD do more to enable #genomic data sharing! 🧬🌏 👉Best practice examples and 12 actions we can all take together 👉 https://t.co/u81JZhxvfX @GA4GH @AusGenomics @GenomicsEngland @NHSgms @AllofUsResearch @uk_biobank @ukfuturehealth

Last week @GenomicsEngland with @NHSgms launched the generation study (great quotes from Head of NHS @AmandaPritchard+UK Health Secretary of State @wesstreeting)- whole genome sequencing of 100,000 babies to see if early diagnosis of ~200 diseases would be useful for healthcare

“Combining genomic data with primary care records would create a rich dataset essential for unlocking the full potential of research” The Participant Panel share their thoughts on Health & Social Care Secretary announcement on improving access to primary care data for research👇

We welcome today's announcement from Health and Social Care Secretary, Wes Streeting on improving access to primary care data for research. This will help to advance healthcare and research innovation. Hear from our CEO Rich Scott👇 @Rich_Genomics @wesstreeting

The start of this project, The Generation Study, is a milestone in medicine because we will start to uncover a wide range of genetic conditions at birth--and learn how to treat them.

A huge early milestone! Credit to our members who have fed into this project as it has developed and to the @GenomicsEngland team for prioritising the contribution of the rare community. @GeneticAll_UK is a proud partner in the all important evaluation of this study.

...or @wesstreeting ‘the future of healthcare is more predictive, more preventative and more personalised. This kind of advance in genomics will help us achieve just that – ensuring families across the country have access to the right support and treatment for their loved ones’
