Illumina to Provide Whole-Genome Sequencing for Singapore’s Precision Medicine Study
Illumina, Inc. has been selected to provide whole-genome sequencing services for Singapore's SG-INSIGHT study, part of Phase III of the National Precision Medicine programme. The study aims to include about 450,000 residents, roughly one in ten, to generate genomic and health data that will inform preventive healthcare approaches. By linking genomic information with real-world health data, the programme seeks to enhance understanding of diseases and treatment responses, supporting tailored healthcare and responsible genetic screening integration in Singapore's public system.
