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

The Pharma Data

Decision Regarding Slick-Haired Cattle is Agency’s First Enforcement Discretion Decision for an Intentional Genomic Alteration in an Animal for Food Use. 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. Today, the U.S.

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. Fast forward to today and, while many large-scale genomics studies still lack the infrastructure and consent policies to enable recontact, this is starting to change. Giving participants something in return.

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. Proviral DNA Genotyping.
