Mycobacterium abscesses (MAB) is an emerging clinically important pathogen

Eroding ideas

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are very useful in drug discovery and the development of cell-based therapies

An Intelligent Method for Secrecy of Biomedical Data

Researchers can enhance gene sequencing data by using genotype imputation, which is a process of using large publicly available data sets to infer missing fragments of genomic data

Genetics related to food intake preferences

Jordi Merino, Hassan Dashti, Co-Director of Metabolism Project, Research Institute Member Jose Florez, Associate Member of Medicine and Population Genetics Project Richa Saxena and collaborators conducted a genome-wide association study and examined the food consumption of 282271 participants

In-depth study of hemoglobin regulation

For decades, researchers have been analyzing the genetic mechanisms that control the production of fetal hemoglobin (HbF), because HbF activation may be a way to treat sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia
