Genomic projects exploit scale as clinical applications play catch-up

Pharmaceutical Technology

Analysing almost eight thousand tumours across 33 different cancers, researchers say this marks the first time that a framework was created to understand the role of internal factors in driving such genomic alterations. Genomic research have greatly expanded our understanding of disease pathophysiology over the years.

UK agency pilots biobank to study links between genetics and drug side effects

Pharmaceutical Technology

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) aims to launch a pilot genetic biobank that will gather patient data to associate drug-related adverse events to their genetic makeup. The Yellow Card biobank will launch as a joint venture with the UK-government funded entity Genomics England on June 1.

The pangenome is making personalised medicine more equitable

Pharmaceutical Technology

However, more immeasurable characteristics such as personality, behaviour, and even intelligence are all influenced by genetics to varying degrees. All that DNA is organised into hereditary units called genes, with humans having about 25,000 genes collectively known as the genome. The first human genome cost $2.7bn to sequence.
