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

Drug Discovery World

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.

Why genomic healthcare data matters in the development of new therapies 

Drug Discovery World

One might argue that this all started getting exciting with the launch of the Human Genome Project, which the National Human Genome Research Institute consider to be one of the greatest scientific feats in history 1. Many of these genes are related to inherited forms of cancer and heart conditions. . The origins .
