The Latest Breaking News from Genome

Combining clinical and genomic data creates a key resource for clinicians to better predict outcomes and tailor cancer treatments, researchers say.

COVID-19 was the first coronavirus pandemic. The original Sars virus from 2003 and the Mers virus that created a health emergency in South Korea in 2015 were both coronaviruses, but fortunately failed to turn into pandemics in the way that COVID did.

On November 9 this year, researchers in Iceland published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine by researchers in which they reported trying to address whether these incidental findings could be associated with the lifespan of an individual! Researchers pored through more than 57,000 whole genome sequences obtained…

IIL starts construction of Rs.700 crore veterinary vaccine manufacturing facility in Hyderabad's Genome Valley, which is expected to create 750 direct and indirect jobs.

There should be sustained focus on genome sequencing for novel variants and India should refrain from shaming States that report more cases or novel variants

BMCRI laboratory yet to resume WGS of positive samples due to lack of eligible samples & resources.

Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Department increases testing and Whole Genome Sequencing to prepare for COVID-19 upsurge.

Two geneticists explain the groundbreaking CRISPR-based therapies approved for sickle-cell disease and β-thalassaemia, and other genetic therapeutics in development, including base-editing and prime-editing.

The human genome contains ca. 20,000 genes that are used for the construction of proteins. Actions of these classical genes are coordinated by thousands of regulatory genes, the smallest of which encode microRNA molecules that are 22 base pairs in length. Read further on Dynamite News:

Deleting a single base-pair from the genome of plants like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, and rice can make them male-sterile, leading to an abundant harvest of hybrid seeds. This is due to a process called heterosis, which is enabled by the fine balance of the Ms-cd1 protein's levels. The mutation's…

A revolutionary shift in genomics tech has enabled population-scale sequencing, leading to unprecedented insights into humans’ genetic diversity. UK's 100K Genome project, deCODE's Icelandic effort, Diversity Human Genome Initiative, AllofUS, 1+ Million Genomes, 3M African Genomes, Emirati genome programme, GenomeAsia, IndiGen, and GenomeIndia - all aim to sequence lakhs of…
