Genomic projects exploit scale as clinical applications play catch-up

Pharmaceutical Technology

Earlier this month, scientists from Cambridge University and the Madrid-based National Cancer Research Center described a novel framework tracking chromosomal instability and copy number changes in particularly deadly cancers. Genomic research have greatly expanded our understanding of disease pathophysiology over the years.
