9.500 Datensätze trainieren neues medizinisches Modell.
CardioKG nutzt einen Wissensgraphen, um MRT-Bilddaten strukturell mit Genetik zu matchen. Das Ziel ist Drug Repurposing: Rheuma-Mittel werden basierend auf visuellen Merkmalen gegen Herzinsuffizienz identifiziert. Das senkt Entwicklungszyklen drastisch.
Ist Korrelation in Datenbanken gut genug für eine ärztliche Verschreibung? #CardioKG #ImperialCollege #UKBiobank

"A large federally-funded study coming out of [US]America, published in Nature, 'marijuana users have enhanced cognitive abilities' ... [they] analysed brain imaging and cognitive data, from 37929 people. The cannabis consumers consistently outperformed the non-users in the cognitive tests. They had brain network characteristics typically associated with younger brains."

I've been told that in the UKBB bgen files , the order of the alleles is ALT-first, REF-second.
1) can you confirm this ?
2) WWWWHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ?
Did you know you can access (if provided by authors, please do!) COHORT information?

#UKBiobank is the biggest contributor!
Die #UKBiobank ist eine öffentlich finanzierte Forschungsdatenbank in Großbritannien: sie verknüpft die #DNA-Daten von 500.000 Brit*innen mit Daten zu Verhalten, sozialem Status und Gesundheit – eigentlich soll sie dazu dienen Krankheitsursachen zu ergründen und Therapien zu entwickeln. (2/5)
In light of the latest "race science" genetics thing, I've taken some time to expand the #Wikipedia article on #UKBiobank - to collect some of the criticisms that have been raised over the years but that seemed quite absent.

@alesssia @mbaudis @marcrr Let me know if I missed something!

@gedankenstuecke @gvwilson I went back to Xitter to screenshot what I wrote about those at the time. #UKBiobank

Someone white and male no doubt thought giving these creeps our sensitive data was in the Public interest. I think this person needs to explain themselves, whether they were tricked or not.
#Proteins in #blood could provide early #cancer warning ‘by more than seven years’
Proteins in the blood could warn people of cancer more than seven years before it is diagnosed. #Scientists at the University of Oxford studied blood samples from more than 44,000 people in the #UKBiobank, including over 4,900 people who subsequently had a cancer diagnosis.
Study identifies 618 proteins linked to 19 types of cancer, which could lead to much earlier detection

I have worked on a lot of papers, this is my first preprint.
Analyzing large biobanks of genomic data requires a fresh look at our quality control metrics, especially as we move to NGS and more diverse populations.
You may be throwing out biologically important variants.
I would be happy to hear feedback.

#UKBiobank, a large scale #health monitoring project has been sharing detailed medical data collected from 500,000 volunteers, with commercial organisations including insurance companies and financial service providers WITHOUT CONSENT.
Despite public statements it would not do this, it is hiding behind a change in policy that was vague and which cannot constitute informed choice and consent.
The #ICO will likely do nothing as usual.

Sensitive health information donated for medical research by half a million UK citizens has been shared with insurance companies despite a pledge that it would not be.
UK Biobank opened up its vast biomedical database to insurance sector firms several times between 2020 and 2023. The data was provided to insurance consultancy and tech firms.
We predicted this would happen. This is why Palantir wants to get its hands on #NHS data.
