Electronic health records (EHRs) are used for many purposes from recording your healthcare status to tracking and billing the healthcare services you receive
As humans spread throughout the world, human populations underwent numerous cycles of dispersal, settlement, and mixture, resulting in each population having its own unique genetic makeup.
Once a blood sample is submitted to the Biobank, DNA is separated from other parts of the blood. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and is made up of four different pieces that we call A, T, C, and G.
When your blood is received in the lab, the first thing we do is assign a new code to it, so that no one except study staff with special permission can know your identity.
