DESCRIPTION:The UK 100\,000 Genomes Project has focussed on transforming g
 enomic medicine in the National Health Service using whole genome sequenci
 ng in rare disease\, cancer and infection. Whole genome sequencing is read
 ing as much of entire genetic code as we can today. Genomics England partn
 ering with the NHS established 13 Genomic Medicine Centres\, the NHS whole
  genome sequencing centre and the Genomics England Clinical Interpretation
  Partnership (3500 researchers from 33 countries). We sequenced the 100\,0
 00th genome on the 5th December 2018 and have returned results to the NHS.
  Alongside these genomes we have assembled a longitudinal life course data
 set for research and diagnosis including >4 billion clinical data points f
 or researchers to work on to drive up the value of the genomes for direct 
 healthcare. In parallel we have partnered the NHS to establish one of the 
 world’s most advanced Genomic Medicine Services where we re-evaluated 30
 0\,000 genomic tests and upgraded 25% of tests to newer technologies with 
 an annual review and 500\,000 whole genomes will be available from direct 
 care over the next 5 years. Several countries including Australia\, Denmar
 k\, France\, Japan\, Sweden\, Qatar\, and the United Arab Emirates are all
  embarked on programmes that will transform genomics in healthcare for the
 ir populations.
