UAE Launches Major Genome Project
The UAE Genome Project highlights mapping the DNA of over a million citizens to enhance personalized healthcare. This involves sequencing the full genome of each Emirati, including newborns, to detect more than 800 genetic conditions early on.

As the project expands, concerns have arisen regarding privacy protection and the security of sensitive health data from breaches, with officials affirming significant efforts to ensure information security.
