How Do Genomic Databases Aid in Understanding Genetic Susceptibility?
Genomic databases allow researchers to identify genetic variants that confer susceptibility or resistance to certain diseases. Through GWAS, associations between specific genetic markers and diseases can be identified. For instance, databases like the [UK Biobank]() provide extensive genotype and phenotype data that can be used to uncover genetic predispositions to common diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
