•ARTIC Network (@NetworkArtic) -Wellcome Trust Collaborative Grant to drive real-time genomic surveillance during outbreaks and epidemics

•Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance (@TheCGPS) -Oxford Big Data Institute and Wellcome Genome Campus

•Oxford Nanopore (@nanopore) -Nanopores for direct DNA/RNA analysis
