We visit the recently opened Francis Crick Institute in London. It is a biomedical research centre with gene sequencing machines and computer systems that crunch petabytes of data. As part of a special series of programmes from the Institute, Gareth Mitchell and Bill Thompson explore the hope that the data collected and analysed will lead to personalised medicines. They talk to researchers including the Institute鈥檚 Greg Elgar about the developments in reading the human genome.
