Australian Omics Library
Many families want to donate and openly share their genomic and health information to accelerate research for young people with cancer. It is also important to young people that they can access their genomic and health information whenever they need it. Being a part of the Australian Omics Library makes it straight forward for them to do this.

How do I donate to the Australian Omics Library?
You will be asked to donate your genome and health information to the Australian Omics Library at the time of having your genome sequenced.
You can also donate your information to the Australian Omics Library if you have had your genome sequenced as part of another project or trial.
