The third age of cancer: genes and molecules (1953-)
Watson, Crick, Wilkins, Franklin. Molecular structure of nucleic acids. Nature, April 25, 1953. Vol. 4356: 737.
Genomically identified risk= 10-25% of cancers
= 15,000-35,000 Australians in 2020
The game is changing
Whole Genome Sequencing: democratizing genetics
• For the first time: – Whole genomes at the population level
• Comprehensive baseline map of human genetic variation
• Illumina X-Ten:– Only site in southern hemisphere
National Computational Infrastructure• Petascale supercomputer + highest performance research cloud + highest performance storage in the southern
hemisphere• Serves national science agencies (BoM, CSIRO), 30 universities and industry
– 2,500 research users; 1,400 journal articles supported by NCI services
Facts and Figures• Supercomputer: 1.2 petaflops (1,200,000,000,000,000 operations/sec)• Global integrated storage
– 20 petabytes of disk at up to 120 Gbytes/sec bandwidth– 40 petabytes of tape for archive purposes
• Power consumption: 1.6-2.0 megawatts • HPC and data infrastructure: $72M; recurrent operations: $17M p.a.

Age-Standardised Ten-Year Net Survival, Selected Cancers, Adults (Aged 15-99), England and Wales, 2010-2011
Please include the citation provided in our Frequently Asked Questions when reproducing this chart: http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/faqs/#HowPrepared by Cancer Research UKOriginal data sources:Cancer Research UK Cancer Survival Group, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Personal communication, 2014.
Ten-year survival for 2005-2006 and 2010-2011 is predicted using an excess hazard statistical model
Survival for bowel cancer is a weighted average derived from data for colon (C18) and rectum cancer (C19-C20, C21.8)
Breast is for female only. Laryngeal is for male only
