Automated Biobanking. Automated Biobanking is an approach to radically reduce the manual tasks involved in properly storing, labeling, authenticating, and monitoring samples, as well as increasing the ease of displaying much of their data values and making sample retrieval easier. Cost Recovery Fees for Biobanks.

Why genomic healthcare data matters in the development of new therapies 

Drug Discovery World

From a general healthcare perspective, access to this sort of data is invaluable, but this is particularly noteworthy in that DNA tests have historically been limited in these regions on account of cost and availability of practitioners, services and resources.

Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

The DNA of these so-called ‘genetic superheroes’ may contain clues about how to treat severe disease. In our experience of running 20+ precision medicine studies, there are a few design principles that every research programme – from biobanks to clinical trials – should consider.

A new dawn of the genomic age: five areas set to be transformed in 2023

pharmaphorum

In March, the collaborative T2T consortium published the first complete telomere-to-telomere sequence of the human genome, filling in the last 8% of the 3 billion base pairs that make up our DNA. The post A new dawn of the genomic age: five areas set to be transformed in 2023 appeared first on.

Biorepositories as a Guiding Resource for Research & Drug Discovery

XTalks

Biobanks are used for the coordination of high-yield patient sample collection. Moreover, biobanks are no longer passive biorepositories for accrual of samples and serve a more utilitarian function in identifying and coordinating specific research cohorts for longitudinal and prospective studies.

Q&A: Gene therapy opportunities from long-read sequencing 

Drug Discovery World

Visualising the whole genome is especially useful when sequencing new organisms, or stretches of DNA with many repeats or translocations, which are difficult to see from short sections of DNA code. This study is also part of our broader efforts to demonstrate the use case of long read sequencing in identifying rare diseases.
