Genomics - Global - World Health Organization (WHO)
Human genomics knowledge and technologies provide new ways to prevent and manage many diseases, and opportunities to achieve global public health goals. Genomic knowledge of other organisms contributes to the understanding of human health and diseases, the interconnectedness across species, and is thus a vital component of the One Health approach.
WHO releases new principles for ethical human genomic data collection ...
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a set of principles for the ethical collection, access, use and sharing of human genomic data.
