Expression of concern for global biomedical research by the human genome organization (HUGO) - PubMed Cuts to US science funding will stall advances in genomics affecting public health, rare disease and cancer diagnostics and therapeutics in the US and around the world.

HUGO warns that US science funding cuts threaten global advances in genomics, rare disease diagnosis, and public health. Sustained investment is crucial to ensure genomic benefits reach everyone.
