What is Genomics England known for in research?

The fields where it stands highest, over all time, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.

Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Genomics England sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).

Which fields of science does Genomics England work in?

In 2022-now, 48% of research at Genomics England is in Life Sciences, 40% in Health Sciences. Its largest fields are Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (41%), Medicine (38%), Computer Science (4%). It does 3.2× the world's share of Life Sciences.
