Uganda Genome Resource: A rich research database for genomic studies of communicable and non-communicable diseases in Africa

2022-05-07

Abstract excerpt

The Uganda Genome Resource (UGR) is a well characterised genomic database, with a range of phenotypic communicable and non-communicable diseases and risk factors generated from the Uganda General Population Cohort (GPC) - a population-based open cohort study established in 1989 by the Medical Research Council (MRC) UK in collaboration with the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI). In 2011, UGR was launched with...
