Hendrix Genetics’ Post

The Human Pangenome In 2003, biologists created the first ever human genome sequence. The 3 billion DNA letter sequence, called the reference genome, was mostly made up of DNA donated from people in the city of Buffalo, New York. So far, when clinicians and researchers study an individual’s genome, they compare it to the reference genome to identify differences. But can you compare all of humanity to one genome? No, because one reference genome does not convey the genomic diversity of the human species. We need many reference genomes--a pangenome. This monumental undertaking is already taking place and is poised to redefine the future of genomic research and human health. Watch “The Human Pangenome,” a collaboration between The National Human Genome Research Institute and the science media company Massive Science, stemming from a shared belief in showcasing an emerging and vital effort in genomics--one that will impact every one of us. https://lnkd.in/gFscDHNs

It's 2017... Marketing, sales, and branding were becoming more prevalent in the talent acquisition process. And so, Workforce Genetics (WGx) launched to create a better system to do the work and the outreach, complimenting BioBuzz's media and events focus. Our perpetual beta continued with employer branding audits, consulting, talent pipelining, and the list goes on. Learn more about Workforce Genetics (https://hubs.li/Q022TKRt0) and be sure to share a memory, share a story, share a photo or share your BioBuzz 𝒘𝙝𝒚 as we celebrate 14 years of impact and 5 years of BioBuzz-ing, 🎉. https://hubs.li/Q022TJwd0 https://hubs.li/Q022TB840

🌺 Cross-Pollinating Ideas for Clinical Trials with Butterfly Wisdom 🦋 Reflecting on yesterday's exploration of anatomy, camouflage, and sensitivity, today's journey brings us to: 🌸 Pollination & Cross-Collaboration: Butterflies play a pivotal role in pollination, cross-breeding plants, and ensuring diversity. Likewise, cross-collaboration in clinical trials can lead to breakthroughs and innovative solutions. ⏳ Short Lifespan & Timely Trials: Despite their ephemeral existence, butterflies leave a lasting impact. Similarly, the time-sensitive nature of some trials emphasizes the importance of swift, efficient procedures. 🐦 Predators & Ethical Safeguards: Butterflies face numerous threats in the wild. Analogously, ethical safeguards in clinical trials protect participants from potential risks and ensure transparency. Prepare to be captivated tomorrow as we wrap up the week, shining light on the vibrant world of color variations and diverse representation in clinical trials. Anticipation piqued?

Today, we honor the dedication, passion, and hard work that drives progress and innovation. To everyone who contributes tirelessly in their respective fields: Thank you. May this Labor Day remind us of the collective spirit that pushes boundaries and creates a brighter tomorrow. Here's to determination, commitment, and achievements. Enjoy the well-deserved break! - - - - - #NeuroBehavioralClinicalResearch #NBRClinic #ClinicalResearchTrials #BehavioralResearch #ClinicalResearch #LaborDay #LaborDay2023 #HappyLaborDay

📝 67 peer-reviewed papers 📖 4 book chapters 🎤 82 talks and keynote speeches 📈 127 presentations Our work with the Cleft Collective ended in early 2023, but we are thrilled to see its impact on cleft research globally as it continues to grow in scope. The Cleft Collective was set up in 2012, with the goal of collecting genetic samples and demographic data from children born with cleft and their parents. Over 10,000 mums, dads, and babies have taken part - making it one of the largest bibanks in the world! Using this enormous dataset, researchers are digging deep into what causes cleft, what the best treatments are, and how a cleft affects development. The Cleft Collective is now being funded and managed by The Underwood Trust, but the data we have collected from volunteers across the UK is helping to make scar free healing a reality.

The NIH is conducting planning activities to inform a potential Common Fund research program to catalyze the development, standardization, validation, and use of new methods and approaches that will more accurately model human biology, known as New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). We anticipate these new methods and approaches would complement, or in some cases, replace traditional animal models, transforming the way we do basic, translational, and clinical sciences. As part of the planning activities, the Common Fund will be hosting public listening sessions bringing together key representatives from multiple sectors to gain insight into current opportunities and roadblocks in NAM development unique to their fields. The next session will focus on learning more about communicating 3Rs (Replace, Reduce, Refine) considerations and highlighting public health concerns that could be addressed by NAMS from the non-government organization community. Register to join the conversation: • Monday Oct 16, 2023, at 12-2pm ET. Non-government organization representatives Or join an upcoming listening session with different sectors: • Monday Oct 30, 2023, at 12-2pm ET.

What would they say? 📣 I think that no scientist or geneticist has not heard of the famous revelation made by #Watson and #Crick in the Eagle Pub (yeah, that's right, a pub 😁) that they had discovered the #secretoflife. 🎖 Their discoveries, along with #Wilkins and #Franklin's, were formally presented scientifically and published in #Nature in April 1953. 🔎 Our comprehension of #DNA has rapidly grown over the last few decades, giving us unprecedented insight into the #genome. Naturally, we want to add more actionability to the data the more we find. #Genomecuration is one of the hottest subjects and objectives in science today. 📚 Given that Watson (1928–) and Crick (1916-2004)'s work forms the #foundation for everything we know about DNA today, I couldn't help but wonder what they would think of this aim, particularly if we highlight a timetable of roughly two years. 💊 As you are undoubtedly aware, Watson was the second person to #publicly release his entire genome online, with the intention of fostering the emergence of a #personalizedmedicine era that includes disease identification and prevention as well as the development of #customizedmedicaltreatments. 🔬 Whatever his #controversial remarks over the years (which are not the subject of this post), I sincerely hope he gets to see the #outcomes in the next two years and its #implementation in the best possible light. 🎊 My humble contribution to this curating project, makes me very proud and thankful. I can easily picture myself celebrating with friends and coworkers when a goal is accomplished—maybe not in a pub, but in some Bosnian "kafana."
