04 / Evidence and provenance
Why the record is included.
Inclusion basis
National-scale genomics infrastructure with an authoritative procurement award, explicit multi-year term and nearly one-million-test scope.
Editorial note
Diagnostic service infrastructure rather than one research cohort. Test count is contracted volume and should not be interpreted as unique sequenced genomes. Genalive is separate from Lifera Omics.
