Can genetic data be a magic bullet for drug R&D?

pharmaphorum

The same is becoming true for the healthcare industry, and one of the first major breakthroughs in the area was the 100,000 Genomes Project. The information gathered from the project is still providing insights today, a decade later. Scientists are able to study the aggregated, de-identified genetics of these individuals.

Nutrigenomics: The Future of Personalized Nutrition

Roots Analysis

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. Nutrigenomics testing is one of the first applications of the human genome project which was made public.

Why a recent advancement is a giant leap for human genomics

Drug Discovery World

The first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome was published 1 April 2022 in a special issue of the journal Science 1. While The Human Genome Project mapped about 92% of the human genome two decades ago, sequencing the last 8% of the genome proved highly challenging.
