Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in an early-stage clinical trial, researchers showed improved vision for a severe inherited form of blindness.

The CHOP-Penn Autism Research Symposium explored opportunities for breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of autism spectrum disorder.

New research suggests an association between the number of SARS COV-2 variants and the implementation of mask mandates in different states.

SAGES 2018 shared researchers' new approaches to sifting through the vast data produced by next-gen sequencing and other omics to find useful signals.

Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, there has been a natural surge in biomedical research aimed at gene discovery. Using genome-wide association studies (GWAS), bioinformatics, and other approaches, this process has focused largely on determining what genes are implicated in specific diseases.
