“However, the extent to which differences in germline or somatic genomic alterations influence outcomes remains unknown.” Genetic sequencing To assess these alterations in groups of different ancestries, Walch and colleagues analysed targeted DNA sequencing data from 4,441 patients treated for colorectal cancer at MSK between 2014 and 2022.

In 2012, Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier published a paper in Science where they outlined isolating the components of the CRISPR-Cas9 system and demonstrated how it could be used to cut specific sites in isolated DNA. The publication and their work eventually led to the pair being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020.

The first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome was published 1 April 2022 in a special issue of the journal Science 1. While The Human Genome Project mapped about 92% of the human genome two decades ago, sequencing the last 8% of the genome proved highly challenging.

The development of effective new disease-modifying treatments in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders has been hindered by their inherent genetic complexity, environmental influences, and clinical variability. This is comparatively easier to accomplish in these diseases because they are relatively monogenic.

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.
