    The Generation Study is a ground-breaking research study in partnership with the NHS which will sequence the whole genomes of up to 100,000 newborn babies and look for 200+ rare conditions in early childhood. Find out more: ow.ly/RVuJ50TBVQf @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland
    Parents holding babies and the text 'The study aims to improve our understanding of how to diagnose and treat rare genetic conditions by sequencing newborns’ genomes.'
    Parents holding babies and the text 'It will also support research into genetic conditions and explore the potential of storing a genome over a person’s lifetime.'
    Parents holding babies and the text 'Parents at participating NHS Trusts will be asked if they wish to join from approximately 20 weeks of pregnancy.'
    Parents holding babies and the text 'The study was designed in collaboration with the public, parents, healthcare professionals and people from the rare disease community.'

    Since 2021, the average participant of the 100,000 Genomes Project has contributed to 137 research projects – 61 projects in 2025 alone. Read the blog to learn more about how data volunteered by participants enables genomic research:

    Why do medicines work differently for different people? One of the reasons is our genes, and this is because they can influence how our bodies respond to medicines. This area of research is known as pharmacogenomics. Swipe through the images below to learn more 🧬💊
    Dark background with text asking 'What is pharmacogenomics?' alongside colourful shapes and the Genomics England logo.
    Illustration of a DNA strand on a green background, above text explaining "Pharmacogenomics is the study of how your genes can influence the way your body responds to medicines. Your DNA can affect how well a medicine works for you, or whether you're more likely to experience side effects"
    Illustration of a woman taking medicine with text explaining "Pharmacogenomics could help healthcare professionals: Choose the most effective medicine, Prescribe the right dose, Reduce the risk of side effects. The aim is to make treatment safer and more personalised"
    Illustration of a scientist analysing DNA sequences on a computer screen above text explaining "As research continues, pharmacogenomics has the potential to support more personalised prescribing across the NHS. By understanding how our genes influence our response to medicines, we can help ensure the right medicine reaches the right person in the right amount."
