How is Gene Ontology Used in Public Health Research?
Gene ontology is employed in public health research to understand the molecular basis of health and disease at the population level. For example, GO can be used to analyze the genetic data from large-scale epidemiological studies, such as the [UK Biobank](), to identify genetic variants associated with various health outcomes. This information can inform public health strategies, such as the development of preventive measures and personalized medicine approaches.
