Genomics England has established the Research Network (as defined below) to give researchers, clinicians and students the opportunity to interpret and carry out research on the datasets which constitute Genomics England's Research Dataset (the scientific and medical data (including genome sequence data from individuals together with the associated phenotypic and clinical data of such individuals) that is made available by Genomics England to users of the Research Environment but excluding the Institution Materials and the Results;).
In 2012, Genomics England, a company wholly funded and owned by the Department of Health and Social Care, was tasked to deliver the 100,000 Genomes Project. Genomics England has completed the sequencing of 100,000 whole genomes and is continuing to support the Department of Health and Social Care in delivering the Genomic Medicine Service for NHS patients.
Genomics England shall provide Researchers with controlled access to the Research Environment to carry out Research Analysis for the Authorised Research Purposes only, subject to the provisions of this Agreement
