Screen time?

Genomics England has announced a pilot programme of whole genome sequencing to screen for genetic diseases in 200,000 healthy seeming newborns, so should every newborn baby have their whole genome sequenced as a matter of course? 

Solving the genomic jigsaw puzzle of health

A DNA database of thousands of healthy older Australians is set to change how we determine which genes may underpin a range of chronic and acute diseases.

New database enhances genomics research collaboration

Sharing datasets that reveal the function of genomic variants in health and disease has become easier with the launch of a new, open-source database developed by Australian and North American researchers.

Bringing the power of genomics to patients

Associate Professor Clara Gaff explains her life long interest in genetics and the potential for genomic testing to unlock exciting new treatments in the future.
