The Wellcome Sanger Institute is a world leader in genomics research. We generate and analyse data at a scale not easily possible elsewhere. We apply and explore genomic technologies to advance the understanding of biology and improve health. Our ambition is vast – we take on projects that are not possible anywhere else. We use the power of genome sequencing to understand and harness the information in DNA. Funded by Wellcome, we have the freedom and support to push the boundaries of genomics. Our findings are used to improve health and to understand life on Earth.
