In this article, we outline three recent studies that have advanced the potential uses of CRISPR in the biomedical field.
Researchers show that genomic tracking can be used to trace individual virus transmission lineages and could therefore be adopted for future pandemics.
A new study has revealed a range of genomic, proteomic and transcriptomic data about head and neck cancers, presenting possible treatment strategies.
Researchers have used a novel DNA-editing method to convert one base pair to another, increasing the lifespan of mice with progeria.
In this article, Ramya Sriram describes how data science is driving innovations in medical biotechnology and genomics.

Watch our on-demand webinar where we explore new methods to improve data quality from high-throughput screens. You'll learn about solutions for common problems in drug-target discovery and our keynote speaker will also look at case studies where new approaches to screening have identified high-quality candidate drugs for proliferative diseases.
According to researchers, an interaction between host microRNA and SARS-CoV-2 could be responsible for the range of disease severities.
Cancer researchers have created a new class of drugs to selectively target and destroy myeloid leukaemia cells with TET gene mutations.
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said there is a mutated form of SARS-CoV-2 that may be causing a rise in infections in South East England.
Scientists have identified a new family of biosynthetic genes in lichens with unknown functions, which could produce new molecules for the pharmaceutical industry.
The study found five key genetic differences when they compared sequences from severe COVID-19 patients to healthy individuals.
The Junior Editors of Drug Target Review, Victoria Rees and Hannah Balfour, discuss some of the most noteworthy news and announcements from this year.
Study shows that haematoxylin can selectively kill cancers with a mutated form of the calreticulin gene (CALR), common in a group of bone marrow cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
Two drugs, Nefiracetam and PHA 543613, were able to return neuronal signalling to near normal in organoids derived from patients with the autism spectrum disorder, Rett syndrome.
