FDA Makes Low-Risk Determination for Marketing of Products from Genome-Edited Beef Cattle After Safety Review

The Pharma Data

Decision Regarding Slick-Haired Cattle is Agency’s First Enforcement Discretion Decision for an Intentional Genomic Alteration in an Animal for Food Use. The IGA results in the equivalent genotype (genetic make-up) and short-hair coat trait seen in some conventionally bred cattle, known as a “slick” coat. Today, the U.S.

How Pharmacogenomics may finally realise its promise

pharmaphorum

There have been great strides made in genomics to refine tools that determine the safest, most effective course of treatments for patients across a number of disease states. Looking at an individual’s genomic profile also provides an understanding of appropriate medication dosage.

Can genetic data be a magic bullet for drug R&D?

pharmaphorum

Rather than be provided a therapy that has been tested across a broad range of the population, there are now many therapies on the market that are designed specifically to work for sub-populations within disease areas. Recent years have brought a revolution to the way in which patients receive treatment.

Evolution in Hepatitis B and C Virus: Can we expect success similar to Hepatitis C in Hepatitis B as well?

Delveinsight

Hepatitis C treatment options, without a doubt, have improved significantly, including pan-genotypic medications that are used to treat all genotypes and subtypes. Typically, pan-genotypic treatments have high cure rates, few side effects, and short treatment durations (usually 8–12 weeks). and GT2 and GT3 with ribavirin.

Nutrigenomics: The Future of Personalized Nutrition

Roots Analysis

Nutrigenomics is the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. In part, the success of the Human Genome Project has also paved a path for the novel concept of nutrigenomics. It further highlights the variation in the genome of patients and identify the sites of metabolic weakness.

Molecular Diagnostic Tests: The Unsung Hero of Precise Clinical Decision Making

Roots Analysis

Molecular diagnostic tests are advanced techniques and tools used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome. Molecular diagnostic tests refer to tests intended to detect specific sequences in human genomic samples, such as DNA or RNA, in order to diagnose a particular disease.
