“WE WILL GIVE EVERY CHILD THE BEST POSSIBLE START IN LIFE BY ENSURING THEY GET THE BEST POSSIBLE MEDICAL CARE AS SOON AS THEY ENTER THE WORLD.” BY DAN ROBITZSKI / AN HOUR AGO The U.K. may start offering full genome sequencing to every child born in the country, an official says. Health Secretary Matt...
Mitochondria can use fatty acids or carbohydrates to create the ATP our cells need for energy. However the ATP creation process from fat is more efficient and creates less free radicals as a by product. … Formitochondrial health, the answer appears to become fat-adapted and minimize our sugar intake. Mitochondria perform diverse yet interconnected functions, producing...
IN BRIEF Illumina claims its new NovaSeq sequencing machine will one day be able to sequence an entire genome for less than $100, a process that currently costs about $1,000. Cheaper genome sequencing could revolutionize healthcare, allowing doctors to prescribe individualized treatment options for patients. THE HUMAN GENOME There are an estimated 25,000 genes in...
