Genome editing

I’m hoping to learn more about genome editing and the possible benefits in the medical community.

Personally I would love to see the day where we can edit out the possibility of certain neurological conditions.

Cloud engineer looking for information

Hi all,

I'm an Azure cloud engineer, and while my current position doesn't have me working with the genome, I am interested in AI. I found an ai tool on Azure called Microsoft Genomics, which I'd like to do something with but don't quite know what yet. I'm going to be purposefully kinda vague because I don't know if I'm asking the right questions to begin with, but could someone direct me to a (hopefully small/relatively non-technical) resource on:

  • where to get a copy of my genome in a data form compatible with Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK)
  • a brief understanding of what each is used for and the type of data I'll receive from it
  • perhaps a criteria I can look for in the resulting data to validate my data as well as test something new

If there's a fault with my understanding please guide me towards a better understanding. I think it'd be interesting to build something with this and I'd like to put out a post once I'm done of what I did in case it helps anyone here to run an experiment.

Public Involvement in Global Genomics Research: A Scoping Review

https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2019.00079

Involving people in the future of genomics research is an essential aspect in maintaining public trust, improving research outcomes, and ensuring that access to the benefits of genomics research is equitable. The limited number of initiatives reporting public involvement and its impact in this study suggests there would be significant value in developing a more systematic method of both reporting and evaluating how people are involved in human genomics research. Data from such reporting could provide the evidence required to inform future policy around involvement of the public, as human genomics research continues to grow.

Where do you see 23andMe is going in the next few years?

I am from Singapore and 23andMe's health kit is not available here due to regulations etc. But I managed to get the test done when I was in US. Apart from expanding to countries such as Singapore after complying to regulations, what do you think the road ahead is for 23andMe? What is its competitive advantage over other companies doing the same thing?

Editor asking a technical question

I am editing a fiction novel and the author has written the following sentence in regards to a virus:

"We've discovered the strand of DNA that deals with it, but it is so complex we are still just scratching the surface of how to understand the genome behind it."

I am not that educated on the subject of genomics but I know enough that this sentence doesn't make technical sense. I'm aware this isn't the typical question in this sub, but help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Does anyone knows how to use python to analysis SNP and do data mining

I'm doing the Helicoverpa armigera genome research now using BSA method, but the sequencing company returned me some data that i don't know how to analyze the genome data. If you know some steps or protocols or manuals, please tell me. BTW, I want to find out some resistance gene mutation point in H.armigera.

Endocranial telencephalon expansions but through different trajectories for gene trafficking, and new genetic material.

By evolutionary conflict between males and females, mothers and foetuses, hosts and parasites, and other parties with divergent fitness interests has led to the evolution of genetic systems control over fertilization and cellular resources. The genes involved in such systems promote risks as a secondary effect of their roles in antagonistic coevolution, which generates evolutionary disequilibrium and maladaptation.

Hypothalamus where † indicates an anorexigenic factor were redirected (doi.org) for use To cite an AMA series.

The hypothalamus is responsible for the regulation of metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. In the understanding of the neuroendocrine regulation in the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis of normal and pathological hematopoiesis-the formation of blood cellular components of human life, it controls human reproduction signaling, and initiates puberty. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis controls human reproduction signaling and implicated as an anorexigenic factor in the central control of food intake, generates seasonal variations in behavior, as well the circadian-rhythm in hypothalamus/pituitary/adrenal axis regulation and subordinate clocks found throughout the body. Biologically the hypothalamus serves the body tissues by attempting to maintain internal hemostasis with the endogenous homeostasis.

Demonstration for the mutations in nonlethal phenotype of epidermolysis bullosa

The triple syndrome epidermolysis bullosa/pyloric atresia/aplasia cutis congenita (EB-PA-ACC); being characteristic of lethal variants. Demonstrate for the mutations in nonlethal phenotype of epidermolysis bullosa with congenital pyloric atresia. Pyloric atresia is a primary manifestation rather than a scarring process secondary to JEB Junctional epidermolysis bullosa, excluding the Herlitz form of JEB the antibody which reacts to - subunits, of the triple syndrome epidermolysis bullosa/pyloric atresia/aplasia cutis congenita. Researchers took a dying boy's stem cells, corrected a faulty mutation within them, and used them to replace 80 percent of his skin. http://theatln.tc/2AquuSp

More than 50 genomic data sources in 1 place!

Repositive are delighted to announce we have hit more than 50 data sources on our platform (52 to be precise!).

The rising number of data sources gives our platform a diverse and solid infrastructure that further enables researchers and scientists to search, access and collaborate around datasets which are integral to their research. It also makes it easier for researchers, making it possible to find data all in one place, rather than having to actively seek out data sources and search through them separately. Many researchers will likely come across something they may not usually have before!
