  • Announcing Complete Genomics Cancer Grant Program

    As the use of DNA sequencing data in cancer research has become widespread, significant progress is being made with respect to characterization of a variety of cancers. As we learn more about the mechanisms of these diseases, we can improve the way we diagnose and treat cancer patients. We are seeing more and more examples every day, where sequencing is being used as a vital element of cancer research. Complete Genomics is committed to supporting and further enabling cancer research using our complete genome sequencing platform through close collaboration with and support of the scientific community.

    We are pleased to announce our Cancer Grant Program whereby we will reward innovative and unique project proposals in the area of Cancer research. This is an opportunity for any researcher to compete to win complete human genome sequencing of four tumor/normal pairs (8 samples in total) at no charge.

    Here is how the program will work. Any eligible researchers should complete the program application, including an abstract, and submit this to Complete Genomics by midnight PDT, on July 29th, 2011. The application will be judged by a two-step process by Complete Genomics Commercial and Scientific leaders.

    We will select and announce two winners each from North America and Europe, for a total of 4 winners.

    For more information on this program and to submit an application please go to the web page for this program on Complete Genomics website at this link:

      Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
      by seqadmin




      During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

      Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...

      Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
      by seqadmin






      The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...
