Eagle Academic Collaborations

Can genomics save the world?

• Genomics is revolutionising:– Basic research, – Plant breeding, – Healthcare.

• Genomics R&D is empowered by:– NGS, – Cloud computing,

• Collaboration is key– Open knowledge/science,– Public datasets,– Open innovation.

–In under a month (June 2011);• 10 e coli isolates sequenced,• 9 genome assemblies released,• 16 genome annotations released,•Over 50 analyses performed,• Resulting in 12 citable publications
