Geneticist Dr Charles Steward has spent his career studying the human genome – but his work became much more personal when his children were diagnosed with severe neurological diseases. Charlie told pharmaphorum how his search for a genetic cause has led him to straddle the divide between scientist and patient advocate.

The COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer) database, operated by the Wellcome Sanger Institute, grew out of the work of the Cancer Genome Project and has been gathering data on mutations associated with specific cancers for almost 17 years.

The potential to develop treatments with CRISPR gene editing is hinged on its ability to add, delete or replace elements within a target DNA sequence. Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by certain changes in the way that genes control cell function, such as how they grow and divide. Why cancer? The pipeline.

It wasn’t until 2002, when Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center scientists Michel Sadelain, Renier Brentjens, and Isabelle Rivière opted to push the boundaries of research, by genetically engineering T-cells with a CAR, that the technique achieved successful results. 2012 – The 100,000 Genomics Project begins.

The Human Genome Project could not have succeeded without the use of bioinformatics. Since the conclusion of the project in 2003, bioinformatics tools have been used to identify genes and elucidate their function with the aim of developing gene-based strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The Human Genome Project recently marked 20 years since the publication of the first full sets of human genomic sequences, an endeavor that spanned well over a decade. Today, new next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the sequencing of complex genomes within just a day or two. Rosalind Franklin.

A few decades ago, gathering genetic data on the scale of the 100,000 Genomes Project would have been unthinkable – it was only in 2003 that the entire human genome was mapped. However, the scale goes far beyond 100,000 genomes and instead is looking to recruit five million adult volunteers. Aims for the project.
