Cutting-edge genomic test can improve care of children with cancer
2 JUL 2024 · Whole genome sequencing has improved clinical care of some children with cancer in England by informing individual patient care.  New research from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the University of Cambridge, supports the efforts to provide genome sequencing to all children with cancer and shows how it can improve the management of care in real-time, providing more benefits than all current tests combined. -

Immune response study explains why some people don’t get COVID News article 19 June 2024
19 JUN 2024 · Using single-cell sequencing technology, researchers provide the most comprehensive timeline to date of how the body responds to SARS-CoV-2 exposure. Scientists have discovered novel immune responses that help explain how some individuals avoid getting COVID-19. Using single-cell sequencing, researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University College London (UCL), Imperial College London, the Netherlands Cancer Institute and their collaborators, studied immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthy adult volunteers, as part of the world's first COVID-19 human challenge study. Not all exposed participants went on to develop a COVID-19 infection, allowing the team to uncover unique immune responses associated with resisting sustained viral infection and disease. -
Sepsis patients could get the right treatment faster based on their genes 18 June 2024
18 JUN 2024 · New research uncovers how different people respond to sepsis based on their genetic makeup, which could help identify who would benefit from certain treatments and lead to the development of targeted therapies. The team, from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Oxford, and collaborators, built on their previous work that identified different subgroups of patients with sepsis. They aimed to understand more about why sepsis response varies between patients and the different underlying immune response pathways. -
Ancient DNA will offer clues for climate-resilient crops
14 JUN 2024 · Understanding how ecosystems have adapted to historical climate shifts over millions of years could help breed crops capable of withstanding future environmental changes. -
