Feb 26, 2021: Learn more about another genetic database – PHGKB (USA)

Launched in October 2015, the Public Health Genomics and Precision Health Knowledge Base (PHGKB) is an online, continuously updated, searchable compendium of databases (including a COVID-19 GPH) containing published scientific literature, CDC resources, and other materials that address the translation of genomics and precision health discoveries into improved health care and disease prevention. Specialized PHGKB are subsets related to specif
