We are thrilled to launch the Gene Curation Coalition (GenCC) Database. GenCC brings together 11 groups curating gene-disease validity and integrates their results into a common database - kind of like a ‘ClinVar for genes’! Start searching here search.thegencc.org! (1/4)

Hugely excited to have just recruited the 3,000th patient into the @GenomiccStudy using WGS to explore severity of #COVID response. Thanks to all volunteers, to @kennethbaillie & team, and in the consortium. The @illumina sequencers are running at max - lots more news to come!
