Cafe Sci: A Holy Grail of Bioinformatics (Part 1 of 4) – Video
Cafe Sci: A Holy Grail of Bioinformatics (Part 1 of 4) Speaker: Peter Karp, Director, Bioinformatics Research Group, Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International Date: September 11, 2012 In the early days of the Human Genome Project, there was significant skepticism that the project would produce useful information. Yes, it would produce plenty of information about our DNA, but how would we extract meaning from all of that data? Continue reading

Personalized medicine and the Human Genome Project
By April Cashin-Garbutt, BA Hons (Cantab) Its nearly a decade since the completion of the Human Genome Project, (1) which aimed to sequence the complete human genome. The project promised potentially amazing advances for medicine. Professor Allan Bradley, the director of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said to the BBC that the eventual health benefits could be phenomenal.(2) But how close actually are we to personalized medicine?

Genetic information may not significantly improve disease risk prediction
Washington, May 25 : Detailed knowledge about your genetic makeup’the interplay between genetic variants and other genetic variants, or between genetic variants and environmental risk factors’may only change your estimated disease prediction risk for three common diseases by a few percentage points, which is typically not enough to make a difference in prevention or treatment plans, say researchers. The study by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers is the first to revisit claims in previous research that including such information in risk models would eventually help doctors either prevent or treat diseases.
