@TinaByrd46 I'm surprised that it's only 25-30% of cases which were classed as heritable. I wonder if this will be lumped in with pre-natal testing. It will be great if there can be a targeted cure that would work for that percentage of patients. #prescottgenomics

https://t.co/mVy9j31m4A This study found 21 previous asthma markers and 3 new ones in the genome, next step is finding treatment options to target the specific zones. #prescottgenomics

@Katrina_UNHM Hair follicle shape! It makes sense there could be a genetic difference at play here. I'm surprised no one explored this option sooner. Great read! #prescottgenomics

This article suggests creating a reference genome for each population of interest and talks about the potential shortcomings when just relying
on one reference genome. https://t.co/359nU3yV0Y #prescottgenomics

@TinaByrd46 Great read. Very promising research, especially since chromothripsis occurs in 20-30% of cancer cases. This could change a lot of lives! #prescottgenomics

Very easy read- scientists sequenced parasitic worms and hope the genome can be used to find new deworming methods. This is the same concept as custom medical treatments, maybe success here will make that more likely. #prescottgenomics https://t.co/gMrfjgFpcE

This article highlights a more thorough sequencing of the mosquito genome and a plan to target receptors used to detect odorants so mosquitos can't smell their host. Clever thought process!

@KatiePicard4 This will be a really great collaboration and could yield great benefits. I'm unfamiliar with policy as it pertains to genomic information sharing between countries, especially if down the road there could be Canada and some of Africa involved. #prescottgenomics

@Katrina_UNHM The bi-directional equilibrium analysis using the unbound drug sounds like an interesting method-using ratios streamlines the findings and works as a double check. Exciting to see how these ideas will impact our future. #prescottgenomics

Some studies have shown humans have immunity to certain bacterium which are important components of crispr/cas9. Will this compromise efffectiveness? #prescottgenomics

@TinaByrd46 After reading this abstract and some other Twitter posts (about genetic bias), it's interesting that this study does not immediately specify the sex or ethnicity of its 9 donors. #prescottgenomics

@Lizzgrace714 Great piece! You can see how somebody could easily be swindled into thinking that insurance premiums would play a huge role in the US and be against further participation despite all the benefits. #prescottgenomics

[Julianne @JjGenomics]

@JamesMichalopo1 That is a great development, it's refreshing to see countries uniting and sharing research. Plus, it will be a much easier to maintain one large database instead of many smaller ones. #prescottgenomics

[Julianne @JjGenomics]

@Katrina_UNHM This is a really interesting read, I wonder if it's truly a lack of participants of other ethnicities or if it's partly a less clear lineage, for example, that makes results challenging. #prescottgenomics

FDA grants permission for a study with CRISPR to treat sickle cell, launching before year end. The modification would create more foetal haemoglobin, hopefully reducing the amount of needed transfusions.#prescottgenomics

Rapid evolution was observed in invasive Burmese pythons in Florida and quantified by comparing sections of the genome after a deep freeze event had wiped out a large percent of the population. #prescottgenomics https://t.co/eg4aT5cFt6

@GenomicsRaph That's incredible! I'm very surprised to see the swab price point mentioned at $50. I am also surprised that education status could potentially be genome associated (despite the lower accuracy rate). #prescottgenomics.

A new company that uses blockchain to create a new type of genomic database. This plan offers a privacy solution and potential compensation for data sharing. #prescottgenomics

This is a practical use of crispr to make a fruit become more hearty so that it can be grown outside of Mexico. This could become a new fruit of interest if it's more readily available- if it was in stores, would you try it? #prescottgenomics.

Thanks to CRISPR, we can taste foods that couldn’t survive outside of their specific regions. https://t.co/KFrhwy12Jy

@KatiePicard4 This is very interesting, certainly makes you wonder the qualifications necessary to work for https://t.co/MmHzHOcE1P. I was also shocked to see how much information has already been sold. #prescottgenomics
