... and knowing what makes you, YOU!
NIH has made available a genomic database available free to researchers worldwide. What's exciting is the inclusion of clinical and phenotype data alongside genetic information of subjects. An increasing number of studies shared through this project opens up new opportunities for Bioinformaticians to analyze and single out genes responsible for diseased phenotypes; thus possibly create prediction models that would allow scientists and clinicians to improve diagnosis and prognosis of serious illnesses.
