Genetic databases articles from across Nature Portfolio

A genetic database is one or more sets of genetic data (genes, gene products, variants, phenotypes) stored together with software to enable users to retrieve genetic data, add genetic data and extract information from the data. Genetic databases are repositories of organised data that are a resource for understanding how organisms function.

Analysis of well-annotated next-generation sequencing data reveals increasing cases of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection with Omicron

Analysis of next-generation sequencing data linked with clinical metadata from individuals reinfected with SARS-CoV-2 in a Danish cohort reveals that Omicron reinfections tend to occur at a higher frequency and within a shorter time interval compared to pre-Omicron variants.

The case for including microbial sequences in the electronic health record

Integrating microbial sequencing data into electronic health records, while presenting privacy concerns, will improve patient care and population health and will expand the secondary uses of such data.

Multilateral benefit-sharing from digital sequence information will support both science and biodiversity conservation

Ensuring international benefit-sharing from sequence data without jeopardising open sharing is a major obstacle for the Convention on Biological Diversity and other UN negotiations. Here, the authors propose a solution to address the concerns of both developing countries and life scientists.

Data privacy through participant empowerment

Sharing of genomic data poses a problem due to privacy concerns and lack of individual’s choice in the matter. In this issue, researchers propose a framework for sharing data where the control lies with the individual.

A global effort to understand the riddles of COVID-19 and cancer

Cancer has found a formidable foil in COVID-19, and this has brought to the fore the early concerns that COVID-19 could have a deeper impact on oncology patients. Two studies now provide insights into the enigma surrounding the determinants of the worsening of COVID-19 symptoms in patients with cancer.
