New Whole Genome Sequencing course to start in September

This September, the Genomics Education Programme will be exploring whole genome sequencing in the first of Health Education England’s free online courses.

The course, launching on 19 September, has been developed to give learners an insight into how whole genome sequencing works as well as its uses within healthcare. Participants will learn more about the processes of sequencing the genome and interpreting results for patients through real life case studies.

The course will run across three weeks, separated into ‘The Fundamentals of Genomics’, ‘Sequencing the Genome’ and ‘Application in Healthcare’.

Enrolment is open to anyone who is keen to learn more about how the technology works and its potential to benefit patients. For more information or to enrol please click here
