<p><font color="#000000">The <strong>Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute</strong> (formerly the Sanger Centre) is a genome research centre in the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Cambridgeshire, England. It was set up in 1992 by the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council, the purpose of which is stated as "to further our knowledge of genomes, and in particular to play a substantial role in the sequencing and interpretation of the human genome. This information will underpin research on human biology and disease in this century and beyond"<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><font size="2"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></font></sup> and was named after the double Nobel Laureate biochemist Frederick Sanger. The Nobel Laureate John Sulston acted as director of the institute upon its inception until 2000.</font></p>
