Summary
In this explainer episode, we’ve asked Dr Emily Perry, research engagement manager at Genomics England, to explain what the Genomics England Research Environment is. You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel. You can listen to the previous episodes mentioned in this podcast How has a groundbreaking genomic discovery impacted thousands worldwide? What is the National Genomic Research Library If you’ve got any questions, or have any other topics you’d like us to explain, let us know on [email protected]. You can download the transcript or read it below. Florence: What is the Genomics England Research Environment? My name is Florence Cornish and I'm here with Emily Perry, Research Engagement Manager at Genomics England, to find out more. So Emily, before we dive into the Research Environment, let's set some context. Could you explain what Genomics England is aiming to do as an organisation? Emily: So, Genomics England provides genome sequencing in a healthcare setting for the National Health Service in England. As we sequence genomes for healthcare, the benefit is that we can also put that genomic and clinical data out for research in a controlled manner, and then that can also feed back into healthcare as well. So, it's really, this kind of cyclical process that Genomics England is responsible for. Florence: And so, what do we mean when we say Research Environment? Emily: So, the Research Environment is how our researchers can get access to that clinical and genomic data that we get through healthcare. So, it's a controlled environment, it's completely locked down, so it's kind of like a computer inside a computer. And in there, the researchers can access all of the…
