World’s largest genetic project unveils incredible new data

In a momentous landmark for medical research, UK Biobank has unveiled incredible new data from whole genome sequencing of its half a million participants.

This is set to drive the discovery of new diagnostics, treatments and cures. Uniquely, it is also available to approved researchers worldwide, via a protected database containing only de-identified data (for example, name, address, date of birth, name of GP and more stripped out). This abundance of genomic data is unparalleled. But what cements it as a defining moment for the future of healthcare is its use in combination with the existing wealth of data UK Biobank has collected over the past 15 years, which includes: lifestyle, whole body imaging scans, health information, proteins found in the blood. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has supported UK Biobank since its very conception, with the Medical Research Council (MRC) being one of the joint founding funders of the biomedical database.
