We’ve just read our 5,000,000,000,000,000th base. In fact, by the time you’ve finished reading this sentence, our sequencing machines will have read another 273 million #DNA bases. #5petabases

#Sequencing the #DNA of 1.5 million species - all known animals, plants, fungi & protozoa on Earth - is estimated to cost $4.7bn. This is less than the cost (in today's money) that it took to sequence just one human genome. #EarthBioGenome #SequencingLife

Government proposals to increase the immigration health surcharge will have a detrimental impact on UK & global science. International collaboration is vital for research and innovation. The UK has one of the most expensive immigration systems globally, putting science at risk.
