10 Years of the Genomics & Health Weekly Update
In 1998, the National Office of Public Health Genomics (NOPHG) at the CDC established the Genomics & Health Weekly Update and published the first |
issue in July 1998. The Weekly Update helps to address the need for credible, timely, and publicly accessible information about genomics that professionals and the public can use to make decisions. Read more |
