DNA phenotyping predicts and organism's physical characteristics like sex, skin color, hair color, eye color, and others by using information collected from their genetic code.
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This presentation will summarise the epidem...
Antibiotic treatment failure poses a burden on global public health systems. Bacteria can acquire mutations and extrachromosomal genes that allow them to be resistant to our existing drugs....
Cancers are genetic diseases driven by recurrent sets of somatic mutations. Different mutations associate statistically with distinct disease risks and can therefore be useful prognostic mar...
