The project requires standardisation of lab processes and adherence to a set of new protocols for both the handling and processing of blood and tumour samples – in order to ensure successful whole genome sequencing. The films demonstrate the correct procedures as set out by Genomics England.
Primarily targeted at those working in molecular genetics and histopathology laboratories, these films will equip all staff involved with sample preparation and DNA extraction with the relevant knowledge and skills to be able to prepare the high quality samples which are integral to the outcomes of this project.
The Oxford Radcliffe Biobank, the Oxford Molecular Diagnostics Centre and the Regional Genetics Laboratories were also involved in the filming.
