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. But researchers in Nik-Zainal’s study looked at both—mutations that drive cancers, and passenger mutations.

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.

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.

Breakthroughs in gene therapy are only possible with an exact understanding of the genetic underpinnings of disease. To develop safe and effective gene therapies, researchers need confidence that genomic data is both complete and accurate. Recent years have seen a great deal of progress in both short- and long-read sequencing.

Decoding ‘junk DNA’ The Human Genome Project and subsequent studies discovered that most of our DNA (approximately 98%) does not actually code for proteins, with humans having approximately 20,000 tox 25,000 protein-coding genes. Furthermore, in the past, discovering the genetic switches of the dark genome would take years to identify.

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. Each human cell has 1.8

CRISPR works as genetic scissors to edit parts of the genome. The scientists on the advisory committee were particularly focused on the CRISPR gene editing technology itself and how companies like Vertex that are developing CRISPR-based therapies are ensuring their treatments are not making off-target gene edits.

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 is worth mentioning that more than 50 genes in a human body are associated with obesity.

During this period, Nobel prize-winning German scientist Paul Ehrlich developed his lock-key hypothesis of molecules that specifically bind to cell receptors. Building on the success of cytokine-based immunotherapies, scientists continued to seek other areas where the immune system could be leveraged against tumours.
