Kids often have the best questions, and mosquitoes — the world’s deadliest animal — hold so many secrets. Inspired by real questions from 7-year-olds, we dive into some fascinating facts and learn what genomics can reveal about one of nature’s tiniest troublemakers.

PhD Student Amjad Khalaf shares how his research on microsporidia is creating new high-quality genomes to help better understand how they cause, and sometimes prevent, disease.

Genomic research is lacking representative data, which limits our ability to understand diseases and develop treatments. To fix this, we need to prioritise local leadership, capacity building, and equitable partnerships. Dr Gosia Trynka, Group Leader at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, shares her experience with Project JAGUAR, a large-scale Latin American genomics collaboration that aims to make genomics data more representative and support fair science and healthcare.

Representation in research is key to ensure that science can benefit all of us. The Wellcome Sanger Institute is one of the first research institutions in the UK to launch an organisational Representative Research Strategy. In this blog, we reflect on the Strategy, what it sets out to achieve, what it means and why it is important in today’s society.

Enter the absorbing world of sponges, the intricate animals that have evolved to inhabit all corners of our Earth’s waterways and oceans. Thanks to a worldwide collaboration of sponge scientists through the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics project, which is led by the Wellcome Sanger Institute, more than 50 published high-quality sponge genomes and counting are now freely accessible to the research community.

It has been 25 years since the announcement of the Human Genome Project. We take a look back at the history of the project with some of our long servers at the Sanger Institute, including what it has allowed us to achieve and where it may lead to in the future.

In recognition of Endometriosis Awareness Month, we caught up with Charlotte Cassie, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, to highlight the gap in endometriosis research and how our work at the Sanger Institute is helping to fill this in.
