The long-anticipated release of genetic and health data on 500,000 British people last summer by a public consortium in the U.K. is generating a shock wave of genetic discoveries that could speed the development of new drugs and tests, scientists say. Th
The UK Biobank is a long-term prospective cohort study that includes genetic data associated with extensive phenotypic and health-related information. Two publications in Nature now report on the first main phase of the project. The first paper by Bycroft et al. includes a summary of the ...
