The latest genomics news and research combined into one article!
Top stories from the past week
- Researchers have identified genetic dependencies within tumours that have undergone whole genome doubling. (Ganem et al, 2021)
- A recent meta-analysis has revealed genetic changes in tumours that could be used to predict if patients will respond to immunotherapy. (Swanton et al, 2021)
- A new preclinical study has shown a potentially more effective and safer gene therapy vector for blood disorders, such as sickle cell disease. (Rivella et al, 2021)
- A team have reported the highest resolution by far of the 3D genome of the primate brain. (Su et al, 2021)
- A genome-wide association study has implicated specific genes in post-traumatic stress disorder. (Gelernter et al, 2021)
