Mayo’s COVID-19 Sequencing Command Center offers insights into ‘power of the virus’

By Susan Murphy Susan Murphy (@susanmurphy)

Tracing the genetic evolution of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is crucial for detecting and responding to emerging variants. A team of scientists within Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 Sequencing Command Center is at the forefront of the extensive research and surveillance operation, conducting nearly 750 sequences of the COVID-19 virus each week.

Individualizing Medicine 2014: Day Three Recap

By Sam Smith Sam Smith (@scolbysmith)

The final day of the Individualizing Medicine 2014 Conference kicked off with one of the pioneers of genomics taking the stage. Having founded the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center in 1997, Richard Gibbs led one of the five main groups that completed the Human Genome Project. Gibbs discussed his past, present and […]

Individualizing Medicine 2014: Day Two Recap

By Sam Smith Sam Smith (@scolbysmith)

Day two of the Individualizing Medicine 2014 Conference dispelled any notion of a conference on genomics being a gathering of humorless, stuffy scientists talking about the minutiae of genetic alphabet soup. Bob Dylan and Fifty Shades of Grey, Clint Eastwood and Dr. Seuss were intermixed in with informative talks that centered on the power of […]

The Promise of Whole-Exome Sequencing

By AJ Montpetit AJ Montpetit (@ajmontpetit)

Until recently, polygenic (complex) diseases were beyond the capacity of first-generation sequencing, but next-generation sequencing (NGS) in making exploration of genetic etiology of complex diseases a possibility for the first time. NGS is a rapidly growing area of genomics and gene sequencing, and the rapid changes hold more promise for exome decoding than ever before. […]

The BEAUTY Project

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

  The Breast Cancer Genome-Guided Therapy (BEAUTY) study is designed to help researchers better understand why standard chemotherapy eradicates breast cancer in some women but fails in others. The long-term goal is to enable individualized treatment for each woman with breast cancer by using the genetic information found in blood samples and tumor biopsies to […]
