Illumina’s innovations transcend beyond improving the health of humans to improving the health of all living things. Our technology is being used to support the biodiversity of our planet in numerous ways, including:

  • Curbing illegal turtle trafficking
     
  • Profiling endangered plant species to promote conservation
     
  • Sequencing the genomes of all species on Earth for conservation and preservation
     
  • Creating a first-of-its-kind atlas of individual apes confiscated over the last decade, maximizing the probabilities of reintroduction to the wild.
