At least 7 million people die each year globally from air pollution, and the spread of diseases like cholera and malaria is increasing due to global warming.

UK Biobank releases largest set of whole genome sequencing data

UK Biobank released whole genome sequencing data for half a million people.
This data provides the most detailed picture of human health and can lead to new tests, treatments, and cures for diseases.

First Human Case of New Swine Flu Strain Detected in the U.K.

A person in the UK has been infected with a flu strain typically found in pigs, marking the first time this variant has been detected in a human in the country.
