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

pharmaphorum

2022 was a banner year for genomics. 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.

Junk DNA: How the dark genome is changing RNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Decoding ‘junk DNA’ The Human Genome Project and subsequent studies discovered that most of our DNA (approximately 98%) does not actually code for proteins, with humans having approximately 20,000 tox 25,000 protein-coding genes.

Searching for answers in rare epilepsy

pharmaphorum

Geneticist Dr Charles Steward has spent his career studying the human genome – but his work became much more personal when his children were diagnosed with severe neurological diseases. Charlie told pharmaphorum how his search for a genetic cause has led him to straddle the divide between scientist and patient advocate.

The future of genomic medicine: can it fulfil its promises?

pharmaphorum

Here he gives us a deeper look at how genomic medicine is evolving and the barriers that are preventing it from reaching its full potential. I saw this, in particular, with the finishing of the human genome,” says Charlie. “At In reality, finishing the human genome was the first step of what is a long journey.”.

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. It further highlights the variation in the genome of patients and identify the sites of metabolic weakness.
