A team of UK scientists has analyzed the complete genetic makeup of 12,000 tumors from NHS patients and discovered 58 new mutations that provide clues about their potential causes. The team, composed of scientists from Cambridge University Hospitals and the University of Cambridge, used data from the 100,000 Genomes Project. That’s a British initiative to sequence the whole genomes of patients with cancers and rare diseases.

One great thing about national health care is the massive databases for research. Sweden is another country with outstanding research on its population.
U.S. research is fragmented and often uses much smaller, local databases.

China has them all beat. Researchers don’t have to worry about HIPAA in China.
