Newborn screening: the genomic challenge
We have just celebrated the 50th anniversary of mandatory newborn screening (NBS). Beyond any question, NBS has been a huge success. It has virtually eliminated the tragedy of intellectual disability from phenylketonuria (PKU) and congenital hypothyroidism in the developed world. It has eliminated death or profound neurologic sequelae from neonatal sepsis in galactosemia and in salt-wasting con...
متن کاملAutomated protein function prediction - the genomic challenge
Overwhelmed with genomic data, biologists are facing the first big post-genomic question--what do all genes do? First, not only is the volume of pure sequence and structure data growing, but its diversity is growing as well, leading to a disproportionate growth in the number of uncharacterized gene products. Consequently, established methods of gene and protein annotation, such as homology-base...

متن کاملPhosphate: the Silent Challenge
Phosphorus (P) is one of the most vital elements for all living organisms which acts as aconstituent of essential biomolecules such as nucleic acids, phospholipids, and phosphosugars,and as a major contributor to almost all metabolic reactions including photosynthesis,respiration, and energy delivery. It is one of the most needed nutrients for plant growth anddevelopment. Despite high levels of...
متن کاملThe new genomic editing system (CRISPR)
Over the past decades, progression in genetic element manipulation, and consequently, the treatment of diseases has been remarkable. It is worth noting that these genetic manipulations perform at different levels, including DNA and RNA. The earlier genomic editing techniques, including MN, ZFN , TALEN , performing their functions by creating double-stranded breaks (DSBs), and after breakage, th...
