A new code of conduct for researchers has been developed by the San peoples of southern Africa.
Although genomics research has the potential to revolutionize medicine, it has limitations. It may not do much to prevent many of the leading causes of death.
Not only are tumors are different from one another, but there can even be genetic differences within a single tumor.
New regulations for research with human blood and tissue try to balance scientific progress with patient privacy.
Researchers are developing biological tools that can boost crop yields to feed a growing world population without harming human health or the environment.
Cracking genetic responses to the changing environment in Africa would open a new frontier in the drive against rising non-communicable diseases on the continent.
Precision public health has the potential to transform the global health sphere by ensuring that the right interventions are brought to the right people in the right places.
By measuring a cancer cell’s DNA in the bloodstream, scientists can get a snapshot of the cancer itself, which is referred as a “liquid biopsy”.
The rise of personalised medicine, which is mainly based on genetic testing, needs adequate regulation so privacy rights aren’t breached. That’s only one of several issues that must be considered.
A new study shows that by using genomics, you can cut down the lengthy process of testing for drug-resistance TB to a matter of days.
Next-generation genomic research depends on study participants sharing their biological materials with scientists. But concerns over how that information is protected may hold some people back.
Big Data produces mountains of information, but it’s useless for science unless we’re asking the right questions.
A new study has identified that pancreatic cancer is not one, but four types of cancer, and opened the door to possible new treatments.
Rapid genetic disease screening will be the key to saving East Africa’s crops - just as it was during West Africa’s ebola crisis.
Modern biological research relies on big data analytics. Vast reservoirs of memory and powerful computing ability mean machines find patterns and make meta-analyses and even predictions for scientists.
It’s time for neurons to share the glory. Gene activity isn’t just a background utility of the brain, but an integral part of its operation.
The 1000 Genome Project has revealed the genetic variations that exist among people around the world, and discovered that some people are missing many genes.
A genetic study of Inuits in Greenland has shed light on how this population has adapted to eating a high-fat diet.
A peek inside the genome of the octopus gives some hints as to what makes it such a remarkable creature is so many ways.
