#UKbiobank "We are planning for a phased re-opening of access to the UK Biobank Research Analysis Platform (UKB-RAP) from September. In recognition of the disruption caused to research by its abrupt closure in April, all projects will be extended by 6 months, as will any compute credits.
Later this year, we will introduce a manual Output Checking System (OCS) with only limited capacity to allow results to be downloaded.

🎉 Breaking news: UK Biobank's ultra-secret health data plays hide-and-seek on GitHub! 🕵️♂️ Because apparently, 20,000 researchers missed the memo on "don't hit upload" 🤦♀️—making sure British volunteer info gets the global exposure it never asked for. 😂📂

Looks like UK Biobank are going for the "Data Breach of the Year Award".
A strong contender, I think.

"A large federally-funded study coming out of [US]America, published in Nature, 'marijuana users have enhanced cognitive abilities' ... [they] analysed brain imaging and cognitive data, from 37929 people. The cannabis consumers consistently outperformed the non-users in the cognitive tests. They had brain network characteristics typically associated with younger brains."

I've been told that in the UKBB bgen files , the order of the alleles is ALT-first, REF-second.
1) can you confirm this ?
2) WWWWHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ? -
Did you know you can access (if provided by authors, please do!) COHORT information?

#UKBiobank is the biggest contributor! -
Die #UKBiobank ist eine öffentlich finanzierte Forschungsdatenbank in Großbritannien: sie verknüpft die #DNA-Daten von 500.000 Brit*innen mit Daten zu Verhalten, sozialem Status und Gesundheit – eigentlich soll sie dazu dienen Krankheitsursachen zu ergründen und Therapien zu entwickeln. (2/5)

In light of the latest "race science" genetics thing, I've taken some time to expand the #Wikipedia article on #UKBiobank - to collect some of the criticisms that have been raised over the years but that seemed quite absent.

@alesssia @mbaudis @marcrr Let me know if I missed something!

Creepy tech bros and their desire to create a world of all-white Daughter-wives....
Someone white and male no doubt thought giving these creeps our sensitive data was in the Public interest. I think this person needs to explain themselves, whether they were tricked or not.

#Proteins in #blood could provide early #cancer warning ‘by more than seven years’
Proteins in the blood could warn people of cancer more than seven years before it is diagnosed. #Scientists at the University of Oxford studied blood samples from more than 44,000 people in the #UKBiobank, including over 4,900 people who subsequently had a cancer diagnosis.
Study identifies 618 proteins linked to 19 types of cancer, which could lead to much earlier detection

Sensitive health information donated for medical research by half a million UK citizens has been shared with insurance companies despite a pledge that it would not be.
UK Biobank opened up its vast biomedical database to insurance sector firms several times between 2020 and 2023. The data was provided to insurance consultancy and tech firms.We predicted this would happen. This is why Palantir wants to get its hands on #NHS data.
