The case highlights concerns that a network of individual gene patents could threaten the future of personalized medicine and whole - genome sequencing by blocking companies and clinicians from reporting a patient's genetic risk
factors for different diseases.
Career goals: Being a computer scientist, I want to understand NGS data and genome
regulation for different diseases, and work on the development of their computational models.
These often get
mistaken for different diseases, and doctors liberally prescribe antibiotics that don't actually work long - term but further undermine your immune system, opening the door for other recurring or chronic health issues.
While breeders may use
EBVs for different diseases in isolation of each other, there are techniques available to further improve the accuracy of selection.
«This genetic information guides future treatments including the development of new drugs as well as the repurposing of drugs already
tested for different diseases.»
It remains unclear what implications the results have
for different diseases.
Professor Martin Tobin from the University of Leicester who co-led the study said: «Our findings point to proteins that will help guide the development of new drugs and to proteins that are targets for drugs already tested
for different diseases.
This indicates that repurposing drugs already tested
for different diseases could be one way to improve treatments for COPD.
