Newborn screening is a crucial public health program identifying infants at risk for serious conditions. Traditionally, this screening has involved a heel prick blood test to check for specific disorders. However, recent advances in genomics have opened up the possibility of using genome sequencing to screen for a much wider range of conditions. The BeginNGS [..] The post BeginNGS: The Future Of …

On April 14 2003, scientists announced the end to one of the most remarkable achievements in history: the first (nearly) complete sequencing of a human genome. It was the culmination of a decade-plus endeavor that involved thousands of scientists across the globe. Many people hoped the accomplishment would change the world for the better. For the 20-year […] The post The Human Genome Project Turn…

The control of tuberculosis is an ongoing issue worldwide. A new study by Rossi and colleagues shows how genomic surveillance and a deep knowledge of the micro-scale landscape can provide invaluable insights on the effective control policies to tackle this issue. How do novel pathogen problems emerge? Have local conditions changed, making an outbreak more likely? How did the outbreak originate, a…
