 100,000 Genomes Project

The 100,000 Genomes Project was an initiative in the United Kingdom aimed at sequencing the genomes of 100,000 individuals, primarily focusing on patients with rare diseases and their families, as well as cancer patients. Launched in 2012 and coordinated by Genomics England, the project sought to harness the power of genomic data to improve the understanding of genetic conditions and drive advancements in personalized medicine.
