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.
Health officials are working to determine any risks the pathogen might pose to human health.
This is not unusual, as flu viruses can jump to other species, but experts closely monitor these events for potential transmission among humans.
