Translating Germline Cancer Genomics into Precision Prevention of Cancer

It is well known that early detection and monitoring of cancer greatly improves patient prognosis. However, specific interventions are only […]

Regulating human germline genome editing

Researchers have recently published a paper describing how the development of an ‘informed adaptive consensus’ approach to regulating human germline […]

Uncovering processes that drive germline mutations

A new study, published in Science, has used computational analysis to reveal the mechanisms behind germline mutations. Their findings have […]

Opinion: morally, is germline genome editing all that different to IVF?

Helen C. O’Neill has explored how the global reaction to the birth of genome-edited twins in 2018 echoed the condemnation […]

The Big Challenge… With James Davies

With the ever-increasing potential of new technology and the exponential growth of the life sciences field, researchers are always running […]

Base and Prime Genome Editing in Precision Oncology

This feature on prime and base editing is adapted from content provided in the Cancer Genomics 2023 Report. The introduction […]

Using Urine to Detect Bladder Cancer Biomarkers: A Multi-Omics Approach

Biomarker detection is a fundamental requirement for early cancer detection. The rapidly developing field of multi-omics has the potential to […]

Conservation Genomics: Saving a Million Species from Extinction 

Conservation genomics is a new and emerging field of research that harnesses the power of genomic technology to preserve species, […]

Brain tumour noncoding mutations are new targets for personalised medicine

Traditional cancer driver gene discovery has generally focussed on coding mutations, which can affect protein function and structure. Mutations in […]
