Since the announcement of the completion of the draft human genome in 2000, and final completion in 2003, rapid progress in sequencing technology has enabled new areas of
Science to be opened up for exploration. At its opening in 1994, the Campus housed approximately 400 employees. This has grown to

In 2000, the first draft of the human genome was announced with the Sanger Centre championing open access to the data and making the largest contribution to the global collaborative endeavour. Genomes began to convert biology into big data science. The subsequently renamed
Wellcome Trust Sanger

established the Sanger Centre in 1992 to undertake the most ambitious project ever attempted in biology, sequencing the human genome. The new facility developed laboratory infrastructure, robotics, team working and computational approaches on a scale unprecedented in life sciences.

located on the same site, and the two institutes formed a natural fit, consolidating expertise, facilities and knowledge in one place and enabling both to contribute a major role in the Human Genome
Project – a global collaboration to sequence the first ‘reference’ human genome.

By 1800 ownership of the Hall and estate had passed to the Green family, who remained until 1920, when the Hall was sold to the
Robinsons. During the Second World War, the Hall was used for billeting American soldiers, stationed at the local airbase at Duxford.
340:
In 2020, the South
Cambridgeshire District Council granted outline planning permission for an expansion of the Campus. The expansion will increase the overall Campus grounds from 125 acres to 440 acres. The first buildings are expected to be completed in 2026.

Bromwell Jones in 1748 and remains today as the central three-storey block on the Campus. Opposite the house were stables, a kitchen garden and an orchard, all of which still exist, albeit in altered form.

In 1953 the Hall and grounds were sold to Tube
Investments Plc for us as research laboratories, which closed in the late 1980s. The site remained under their ownership until it was sold to Genome Research Limited in 1992.

At the Campus, genome and biodata research takes place. The Campus provides bioinformatics services and delivers training in genomics and biodata to scientists and clinicians.

over 2,600 people employed at the
Wellcome Genome Campus today, making the Campus a densely concentrated and globally significant cluster for biodata and genomics expertise.
