Therefore, the HCA follows the ethos of other large-scale resources that share and disseminate biomedical datasets, including the Human Genome Project and the 1000 Genomes Project and local or regional initiatives, such as the UK Biobank [4]. The methods used by research teams as part of the ...
For this study, the researchers used data from the UK Biobank, which includes genetic information from 452,633 people. All the participants were asked to classify their naps during the day as “never/ rarely”, “sometimes” or “usually”. The GWAS identified 123 regions in the human genome...

Clinical coding is the task of transforming medical information in a patient’s health records into structured codes so that they can be used for statistical analysis. This is a cognitive and time-consuming task that follows a standard process in order t
Current estimates suggest that overweight and obesity could overtake smoking as the single biggest cause of cancer in UK women in around 25 years5 and this premise is also echoed in international reports.6 Of all new global cancer cases in 2012, 481,000 (or 3.6%) were considered to be ...

What is Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Test? COVID-19 PCR test will be taken to detect the antigen presence and will determine the person has positive or negative for COVID 19. How to get ready for PCR test? Get prepared for your PCR test For the COVID-19 PCR test, p...
The human papillomavirus (HPV) causes both cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer. Although the virus is highly prevalent, only a small number of women have a persistent HPV infection and subsequently develop clinically significant disease. There is emerging evidence which leads ...
A daytime nap can help make up for poor-quality sleep the night before. People who rise early may “catch up” on sleep with a nap. “This tells us that daytime napping is biologically driven and not just an environmental or behavioral choice,” says Dashti. Some of these mechanisms are...
Within this context, Tran et al.5examine the association of self-reported coffee drinking with the risk of digestive cancer in the UK Biobank cohort. Despite the large size of the cohort, follow-up remains relatively short, so the numbers of individual cancers and associated statistical power wa...
