New Analytical ToolsExtend the Boundaries of Omics Research

'Omics' research is based on non-targeted investigations that provide a holistic view of the molecules present in a cell, tissue or organism, where the different branches of 'omics' research each focuses on a specific of cell components. Mass spectrometry and NMR have revolutionized the detection and quantification of analytes in 'omics' research.

Study of men with inherited DNA repair mutations opens new therapeutic avenues in prostate cancer

Selected by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) to first outing during its Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, Translating Evidence to Multidisciplinary Care, February 8 - 10 (San Francisco, USA), Joaquin Mateo, Principal Investigator of VHIO's recently created Prostate Cancer Translational Research Group, will today reveal findings from a retrospective and international study showing for the first time that patients with inherited DNA repair mutations benefit from standard therapies in a similar way to other metastatic prostate cancer patients.

	Scientists methodically identify genes related to blood feeding and non-biting mosquitoes Researchers have taken the first step on a path that eventually could result in female mosquitoes that no longer bite and spread diseases.

	Programmable Encoder for DNA Sequencing Genomics is a science that deals with the mapping of DNA of living organisms. The advantages of this technology are applied to a number of fields.

	Children born with Down's syndrome have superior genome that compensates for disability Down's syndrome - also known as trisomy 21 - is a genetic disorder caused by an additional third chromosome 21. Although this genetic abnormality is found in one out of 700 births, only 20% of foetuses with trisomy 21 reach full term.

	Study shows connection between genetic variants for ADHD and educational attainment A study published in the February 2018 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reports that five novel genetic variants associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been identified by exploiting genetic overlap between ADHD and educational attainment.
