Anthony Beckhouse @antobeck.bsky.social · 28/05/2026In your opinion what’s the most impressive #genomics project? HGP was pretty impressive, FANTOM projects? GEL/UK Biobank? PhiX genome (how much sequencing has that had?) AllofUs? TAGC? ICGC? Billion Cell? EBP? T2T? HCA? Others?? Future projects? 000
