In the rapidly widening arena of functional genomics, a few key players dominate the lab tools game. Perhaps the most prominent is the DNA microarray. This robust tool allows researchers to examine ...

Cells that acquire somatic mutations conferring a survival advantage can expand clonally, which in some cases leads to cancer. In the haematopoietic system — which is readily accessible through blood ...

The human genome project was undertaken to determine the human DNA sequence and analyze variation among individuals. To make use of this information, tools were developed that could collect and ...

Launched in 1990, The Human Genome Project was a monumental effort to sequence and analyze the entire human genome to understand how genetics influence health. While the Human Genome Project helped ...
