@HannahMarkham4 This is both fascinating and horrifying to me, a big fear of mine is contracting a parasite that causes lots of damage because you usually can't tell you have one until it is too late. Thanks for sharing!

This discovery was found in the most studied gene known to cause seizures, hiding in plain sight. This means there could be many other disease causing mechanisms hidden in our genome that we simply haven't discovered yet. Never give up on the search for cures!!

It's great to see other areas in the world excel as the USA has been given the opportunity to! Other booming biotech industries around the world can only lead to more advancement and greater innovations!!

@GenomicsRaph This is a fantastic initiative! We absolutely cannot undo all of the damage we have caused and save all of these organisms from extinction. But if we can take a piece of them with us then we can learn from them and possibly restart the species again one day. #prescottgenomics
Once again, genetic sequencing is the knight in shining armor for people with devastating diagnoses. As a Potter fan I also love the comparison to the sorting hat! #prescottgenomics

@Katrina_UNHM I have many friends I met through my summer research program that are trying to combat this very problem! Thanks for sharing :)

This website is a great starting point for anyone who wants information about genetic diseases or some advice on how to cope with them!

@MontgomeryTaeya This is a great distinguishing read, I just wrote a fellowship application involving epigenetics. I think the topic is fascinating, thank you for sharing!! :)
#prescottgenomics
Opinion piece discussing why the benefits outweigh the consequences of genetic testing - a controversial topic especially when it comes to privacy and insurance. Great read!
#prescottgenomics
How safe is sharing our genetic information? In an opinion piece for @FLgenomics, @glyn_dk explains why the potential benefit for #precisionmedicine far outweighs the risks when it comes to safely sharing our #data:

@KatiePicard4 This sounds like a huge statistics compilation to me, very cool advancements for medicine! Thank you for sharing Katie :)

@musiccmedicine It is truly amazing how many applications we have found for CRISPR, it has done, and will continue to do so much good for the world as long as we watch our ethical boundaries!
#prescottgenomics
Amazing things happening with the use of genome editing, regardless on your stance of the ethics behind this science, hopefully we can agree that it does have some benefits.

This is a stunning video of DNA in its true form within the cell, it's amazing to see an actual 3D representation! (and it's COLOR CODED which makes everything better)

This article finds a strong correlation between the presence and integration of an ancient virus that is found close in proximity to genes involved in dopaminergic activity and cases of addiction.

@drsarahgrace@NABT_News I had not heard about this, but what of people who do not want to be tested because they don't want to know the risks? Some just don't want to know, so I think it's unrealistic to think that this process will ever become routine. Maybe I'm wrong? #prescottgenomics
Image of the Day: Seaweed Sequence. This is the first green algae to be sequenced and it will allow scientists to study coastal biogeochemical cycles. https://t.co/X8uznNwtK6

@JamesMichalopo1 This article is great, but that graphic is super interesting too. Proteomics is becoming an extremely important field (as it should be).
#prescottgenomics
The NIH making great strides by genomic sequencing different types of cancer. This could lead to more specialized and less harsh/invasive treatments for patients.

@musiccmedicine This article was great, I really want to go watch this documentary now. The article was very informative without giving any spoilers away. Great share!
