Public Health Genomics Knowledge Base
Exploring the Public Health Genomics Knowledge Base (PHGKB) :
A Comprehensive Resource for Genetic Research
The Public Health Genomics Knowledge Base (PHGKB) is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the field of public health genomics. It provides essential databases and tools for exploring genetic associations, epidemiological trends, and genomic research insights. Managed by the Office of Public Health Genomics (OPHG) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), PHGKB is constantly updated with the latest information to help professionals, researchers, and policymakers stay informed.
Comprehensive Database Access
PHGKB integrates a number of databases that facilitate in-depth exploration of genomic data. These databases include :
- CDC Information Database – A comprehensive resource with 489 entries on genomic-related information from the CDC.
- CDC-Authored Genomics Publication Database – This database contains over 1,000 publications authored by CDC researchers, offering insights into the latest genomic studies and findings.
- Discoveries and Insights Database – With more than 3,500 entries, this database focuses on key genomic discoveries and their implications for public health.
- Health Impact Scan Database – This resource contains nearly 2,800 entries related to the health impact of genomic research, highlighting studies that have significant public health implications.
- Guideline Database – A smaller but crucial database, offering 229 entries on guidelines related to genomics and its application in healthcare.
The Advanced Molecular Detection Scan Database features 1,481 entries that focus on the intersection of molecular detection and genomics, which is a critical area of research for improving disease detection and management.
