Meeting the Genomic Data Challenge: New Collaboration Speeds Precision Medicine Discovery
By Sharon Rosen
Each of us has a unique genetic makeup of more than three billion molecules that are the building blocks for our DNA. These building blocks create the blueprint for everything from our eye color to how our body functions, how we process medications and how likely we are to contract disease. Because of today’s DNA […]
