The data revolution from massive, parallel sequencing has brought about a huge revolution in the life sciences. Everything from cancer research, drug discovery, through to the current efforts to understand the history of life (such as the Tree of Life Project) have changed forever, and Illumina have been at the heart of these next generation sequencing efforts. Dr Ros Jackson shares her story from being a young, enthusiastic biochemist, through navigating work whilst raising a family, to returning to biology in the early 2000s as the race to the $1000 genome was underway. She shares her story as well as guidance and advice on modern genomics.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0Y9HSF3RrgII-6ZzBLqMWtX6t2sBkR_JCgByhoVKRRQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kOGQy/Y2Y4YjYzYWJmNzY2/Y2NmYjgxNWE2MjQ1/YzFmZS5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
