A Global Leader in Genome Research

The Wellcome Sanger Institute is a world leader in genome research that delivers groundbreaking insights into the biology of humans, pathogens and species across the tree of life. Scientists at the UK institute tackle some of the most difficult challenges in genomic research to fuel scientific discoveries and push the boundaries of our understanding of biology in ever new and exciting ways.

Sanger Institute is very heavily involved in the UK COVID response. Their scientists are performing a lot of genome sequencing onsite and conducting the primary analysis to turn the sequences into something useful that we can then share with other sites to perform downstream analysis. The data generated is being used, in real time, to inform public health measures and to help save lives.

To do science on the scale of that conducted at the Sanger Institute, researchers need access to massive amounts of data processing power.
