A knowledge base for tracking the impact of genomics on population health

Purpose: We created an online knowledge base (the Public Health Genoinics Knowledge Base (PHGKB)) to provide system, atically curated and updated informatkin that bridges population-based research on genomics with clinical and public health applications Methods: Weekly horizon scanning of a wide variety of online, resources is used to-retrieve relevant scientific publications, guide, lines, and commentaries. After curation by domain experts, links are deposited-inta Web-based databases. Results: PHGKB currently consists of nine component databases. Users can search the entire knowledge base or search one or more component databases directly and choose options. for customizing the display of their search results. Conclusion: PHGKB offers researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and the general public a way to fmd information they need to tinder- stand the complicated landscape of genomics and population health.
