Study highlights use of techniques such as long-read genome sequencing, optical genome mapping, and RNA sequencing for rare disease diagnosis.

Researchers aim to continue studying the role of the X chromosome in brain aging, and whether it can explain people’s risk of brain diseases or memory loss.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute studying male mice engineered with different Y chromosome deletions have uncovered which genes on the

In the next step, the researchers want to develop new molecules based on digoxin that are even better at dissolving the CTC clusters. The ETH spin-off, Page Therapeutics is already working on this solution. Aceto also wants to expand his research to other types of cancer that spread, such as prostate, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer, as well as melanoma. Initial experiments in his laboratory have already begun.
