4 weeks after being born, Freddie was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer. He is one of numerous babies born with rare conditions who are receiving earlier diagnoses and treatment as a result of the Generation Study.

Read the full story: ow.ly/YJ7850XcTNk
Text saying 'The Generation Study is looking for more than 200 rare conditions which usually appear in the first few years of life, can be improved if caught early, and can be treated in the NHS.', with a green, a yellow and a pink circle below on a light green background. Text saying 'Four weeks after being born and having his genome sequenced, Freddie was diagnosed with hereditary retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of eye cancer usually diagnosed in very young children.', and a photo of Freddie on a pink background. Text saying 'Very shortly after his diagnosis, Freddie was able to start treatment at Birmingham Children's Hospital. This gives doctors the best chance to minimise the impact on his vision.' and a photo of Freddie, his parents and sibling on a blue, yellow and pink background. Quote from Dr Rich Scott, Chief Executive Officer of Genomics England on a pink and white background saying “We believe genomics can transform healthcare in this country and be used to get ahead of serious illness. It’s been incredibly moving to see the lifechanging impact the Generation Study is having for families like Freddie’s, who have been able to access treatment that makes a world of difference soon after being born.”.

A lot of really interesting discussions on the use of AI in genomic research at day 2 #FOG2025 it’s been great to hear from so many building data governance into the core of their projects, not just treating it as an obstacle!

An early highlight of #FOG2025 with @adamrutherford.bsky.social talk, so important to reflect at the start of the conference on the founding of genetics as a field so inextricably linked to white supremacy and how we can continue to fight outdated and bigoted views in our work and outreach

The Generation Study is a ground-breaking research study in partnership with the NHS which will sequence the whole genomes of up to 100,000 newborn babies and look for 200+ rare conditions in early childhood.

Parents holding babies and the text 'The study aims to improve our understanding of how to diagnose and treat rare genetic conditions by sequencing newborns’ genomes.' Parents holding babies and the text 'It will also support research into genetic conditions and explore the potential of storing a genome over a person’s lifetime.' Parents holding babies and the text 'Parents at participating NHS Trusts will be asked if they wish to join from approximately 20 weeks of pregnancy.' Parents holding babies and the text 'The study was designed in collaboration with the public, parents, healthcare professionals and people from the rare disease community.'

If I’d known that they’ve eluded researchers for decades I would have told them I already have one in my Animal Crossing aquarium

The oarfish, a striking deep-sea creature nicknamed the “doomsday fish,” has eluded researchers over the decades. For scientists in California, where three oarfish have washed up in recent months, it’s an exciting find.
Rare ‘Doomsday Fish’ Found on California Beach by Woman Going for a Walk
In Japanese mythology, the deep-sea-dwelling oarfish is a harbinger of impending disaster. For scientists in California, where three oarfish have washed up in recent months, it’s an exciting find.
