Genomics Research:Where are we now? With the increasing demands placed on researchers in the analysis of biomolecules, single living cells, proteomics and genomics, new bioanalytical platforms are emerging as invaluable tools in the advancement of many fields involving the study of genomics; including biomedicine, biomaterials science and engineering. This chapter of the ebook will provide an overview of recent research in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and metallomics, as described at Pittcon 2018. Download Now

Sample Preparation of Biological Materials — From Cell Disruption to Homogenization and Pulverization   From Bead Beating for cell disruption over homogenization and pulverization to cryogenic grinding: for these applications the use of a mixer mill yields optimum results - and often better than standard methods like vortexing. Learn More           Genetic testing to be provided by the NHS in exchange for genomic data   The NHS is going to start providing genetic tests in exchange for patients in England who agree to share their genomic data so that it can be used for research.

Researchers use genomics to advance understanding of Parkinson´s disease   It is widely known that genomics has already begun to influence medicine and that bioinformatics holds the key for developing new medical approaches, but how does medical genomics really work?       Kidney disease risk gene found in more populations than previously known   In the largest population genomics investigation to date, a team of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Stanford University, and the University of Colorado have discovered that kidney disease risk variants of the gene APOL1, previously known to affect African and African American populations, are also found at appreciable frequencies in Caribbean and Latin American populations.       New ACMG points to consider: Patient re-contact after revision of genomic test results   Genomic testing is becoming increasingly common in medicine. Moreover, ongoing advances in technology and an ever-increasing understanding of what genetic variants mean can result in reinterpretation of the clinical significance of variants found in patients.       Researchers identify hundreds of new genes linked to blindness in lab mice   Hundreds of new genes linked to blindness and other vision disorders have been identified in a screen of mouse strains. Many of these genes are likely important in human vision and the results could help identify new causes of hereditary blindness in patients.       What is Nutritional Genomics?   Since the completion of the human genome project in April 2003, research projects into the effects of diet on the genome have grown exponentially. Nutrition intake is both affected by, and affects, a person’s genes. The ability of the body to take in nutrition, use nutrition effectively, and burn energy in an optimal way can vary greatly between individuals.
