Genetics and Genomics to the Clinic: A Long Road ahead
Advances in genomic technology have produced an explosion of new information about the genetic basis for human disease, fueling extraordinarily high expectations for improved treatments. This perspective will take brief stock of what genetics/genomics have brought to clinical practice to date and what we might expect for the future.
متن کاملUsing comparative genomics to decode the genetics of acaricide resistance.
The availability of genome assemblies and other genomic resources is facilitating investigations of complex genetic traits for several species of ticks. Understanding the genetics of acaricide resistance is a priority for tick and tick-borne disease control. The synaptic enzyme acetylcholinesterase (ACE) is recognized as the target of organophosphates (OPs) and carbamates, and mutations in ACE ...
متن کاملCancer Genomics: The Road Ahead
Voltaire, after suffering an attack of smallpox, wrote in a letter to Baron de Breteuil, ‘‘.the diseases that afflict us are as different as the features on our faces’’ (1723). Systematic sequencing of cancer genomes in the last 5 years has unmasked the countless faces of cancer, laying bare the uniqueness of each patient’s tumor; in its cancer genes, its mutational processes, its clonal archit...
متن کاملPathogen Genetics and Genomics
The development of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases, directed transformation and a sequenced genome have facilitated the functional analyses of Fusarium graminearum genes. Extensive analysis of 10,397 ESTs, derived from thirteen cDNA libraries of F. graminearum grown under diverse conditions, identified a novel cluster of eight genes (gene loci fg08077 – fg08084) located within a 17 kb re...
متن کاملXenopus genetics and genomics
This issue of Mechanisms of Development addresses recent advances in Xenopus genomics and genetics, a topic whose time has undoubtedly come. Xenopus has long been a favourite species of the cell, molecular and (especially) developmental biologist. There are good reasons for this. Xenopus embryos are large and have reliable and accurate fate maps: they are therefore excellent for grafting and mi...
