Genomics for Poland (G4PL)
A strategic project aimed at expanding the national infrastructure for genomic research to support science, biotechnology, and medicine.
This project is co-financed by the European Union under the “European Funds for a Smart Economy” program.

About the Project
The main purposes of the G4PL Project
Nationwide network of laboratories
Genomic analysis equipment
A collection of genomes from Polish residents
Collecting new genome samples from residents of Poland, including members of minority groups and patients with rare diseases.
National data repository
Integration and reanalysis of existing data, and consolidation of that data into a single nationwide repository.
IT tools for genome analysis
Development of new IT tools for genome analysis using artificial intelligence algorithms and quantum technologies.
The project plans to sequence DNA samples from 6,000 to 7,000 donors. Some of these samples will contribute to the European project Genome of Europe, as part of which a reference database of genetic variation in Europe is being created.
News
Updates on research, analysis, and the development of genomic infrastructure
Important information about the consortium’s progress, new data, and activities.

Genomics – what is it?
While everyone intuitively understands what genetics is about, the term “genomics” is still relatively unknown and is used mainly in scientific texts.
GENE
The basic unit of heredity, in the molecular sense, is a segment of DNA that encodes a molecule - a protein or RNA - which performs specific functions within the cell.
GENOME
The complete genetic information of an organism, encoded in the form of DNA. The human genome is the complete set of DNA found in the cells of the human body.
