2022 was a banner year for genomics. In March, the collaborative T2T consortium published the first complete telomere-to-telomere sequence of the human genome, filling in the last 8% of the 3 billion base pairs that make up our DNA.

In 2016, scientists behind a study called the Resilience Project analysed genetic data from 589,000+ people and found 13 adults who carried genetic variants that should have resulted in serious – even deadly – childhood disease, but who were apparently healthy. A decidedly contentious area in genomics is the patient’s ‘right not to know’.

The cost of testing per human genome in 2006 was approximately $14 million , and in less than two decades, an average consumer-purchased genetic test costs $100. The same is becoming true for the healthcare industry, and one of the first major breakthroughs in the area was the 100,000 Genomes Project.

Now, scientists have found a mechanism that may help explain how pollutants in the air can turn cells cancerous. They performed ultra-deep genomic profiling of normal lung tissue samples and tissues exposed to PM (both human and mouse tissues) and examined the effects of the PM on tumor promotion in mouse lung cancer models.

The power of leveraging clinical data to decipher disease mechanisms and fuel drug discovery has rapidly grown in the era of genomics and personalized medicine. Biobanks are used for the coordination of high-yield patient sample collection. Generation of strong research dataset cohorts must begin with high-quality clinical samples.
