Understanding the nature of life on Earth has been revolutionised by DNA sequencing. In the past we could only observe what was happening, now we can read (and alter) the blueprints of life to understand health and disease at the most intimate level. Yet none of this would be possible without the unsung work of bioinformaticians

DNA data has turned from a trickle to a flood of information that could transform medicine and biological understanding. Ali Cranage explores how Sanger scientists are using AI to extract new discoveries and knowledge
