In May 2023, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will pilot a novel genetic research resource known as a "biobank" in conjunction with Genomics England. The objective is to enhance comprehension regarding the potential impact of a patient's genetic makeup on medication safety. The Yellow Card biobank will store patient samples and genetic information concerning adverse events and suspected side effects of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, in addition to the MHRA's Yellow Card reporting site. This endeavor, which is an essential element of a holistic approach to personalized medicine, involves researchers utilizing the biobank's repository of genetic data to determine the underlying cause of a medication-induced adverse effect on a specific genetic trait.  By means of rapid screening tests, physicians will have the ability to customize prescriptions according to the genetic profiles of their patients. This will guarantee that every individual in the United Kingdom is administered the most secure medication feasible.

The UK Biobank has unveiled astounding new data from the whole genome sequencing of its half a million participants in November 2023. This groundbreaking development is expected to accelerate the search for new diagnostics, treatments, and cures. The data is accessible exclusively to authorized researchers across the globe through a secure database that contains de-identified information (e.g., name, address, date of birth, name of general practitioner, and other such details removed).  The current surplus of genomic data is without comparison; however, its integration with the substantial amount of data UK Biobank has amassed for the past fifteen years regarding lifestyle, whole body imaging scans, health information, and blood proteins will solidify its status as a defining moment in the history of healthcare.  Following an extensive five-year endeavor, exceeding 350,000 hours of genome sequencing, and an investment exceeding £200 million, UK Biobank has successfully concluded the most ambitious sequencing data set in history and is now disclosing it to the world.
