Cloud Highlights

The award winning on-premises cloud facilities have enabled a huge range of science across the Sanger Institute.

This includes web services such as the Monocle database and the COSMiC database, as well as empowering sequencing pipelines - producing a platform capable of sequencing over 3000 human genomes a month.

The OpenStack cloud facilities additionally host local imaging analysis platforms for cellular genomics and facilitate informatics platforms across all the research programmes.

Quantum Pangenomics

Recent advances in genomic research, driven by the rapid growth of sequencing technologies and data analysis methods, have raised questions about the adequacy of single reference genomes in capturing the full genetic diversity of species. Pangenomics, the study of multiple complete genomes in tandem, provides a more comprehensive approach by analysing the entire genetic variation within a species, rather than relying on a single reference genome.
