NIH awards $27M to establish new network of genomics-enabled learning health systems

NIH is awarding $5.4 million in first-year funding to establish a new program that supports the integration of genomics into learning health systems. As genomic testing becomes increasingly common, more and more genomic data are available in clinical settings, and learning health systems present an opportunity to translate this evidence quickly and directly into improvements in medical care.

… Network will analyze and improve how genomic information is integrated into patient care. … The National … to identify and advance approaches for integrating genomic information into existing learning health systems. As genomic … testing for hereditary diseases or using genomic information to select which medications a patient is given. …

The Human Genome Project is simply a bad idea

The Human Genome Project changed traditional understandings of how and why scientific research is conducted. It was, however, not without its detractors. Early in 1990, there was an effort to stop funding for the nascent Human Genome Project, in the form of a letter writing campaign.

Gene Sweepstakes (GeneSweep)

The Gene Sweepstakes — or GeneSweep as it became popularly known — was a three-year-long, sweepstakes-style contest organized by British bioinformatician Ewan Birney, Ph.D., of the European Bioinformatics Institute. Scientists participated in the contest by betting on the total number of protein-coding genes that would be identified in the human genome sequence generated by the Human Genome Project.
