Why Proviral DNA Drug Resistance Testing is Useful in Guiding Treatment Decisions for HIV-1 Patients

XTalks

While ARV-based treatments work well to keep the virus suppressed and patients healthy — some for many years — resistance to one or more drugs in a treatment regimen can develop in some patients. HIV drug resistance occurs when virions develop mutations that make them less susceptible to given drugs. HIV Drug Resistance Testing.

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. First, start co-development with participants early on in the process. Building technology collaboratively and developing new methodologies for participant-centred design is the answer.

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

Delveinsight

Due to hepatitis C, most people develop cirrhosis, or scarring of the liver, before liver cancer; about 5–25% of patients with chronic hepatitis C develop cirrhosis over 10–20 years. Research and development in Hepatitis. 2b) was developed to maintain a steady level of an active drug and reduce the frequency of administration.

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

The Pharma Data

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. This is the FDA’s first low-risk determination for enforcement discretion for an IGA in an animal for food use. Solomon, D.V.M., director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine. “It

Why a recent advancement is a giant leap for human genomics

Drug Discovery World

The remaining 8% of the genome was often referred to as the dark matter of the genome or sometimes even ‘Junk DNA’ 2. The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium successfully sequenced about 200 million remaining base pairs to approach 100% of the human genome by using the newly developed long read sequencing (LRS) technology 3,4,5.

The doors CRISPR libraries have and will open in phenotypic drug screening 

Drug Discovery World

Steve Wowk , VP, Business Unit and General Management of Integrated DNA Technologies, shared with DDW the value of CRISPR-Cas9 in drug discovery. In an effort to defend themselves against viral infection, bacterial cells capture and copy DNA fragments of bacteriophages into their genome.
