The fields of genetics and genomics are integral to biomedical research, biotechnology, and medicine. Through the use of innovative tools and technologies—including single-cell genomics, transcriptomics, gene editing, and epigenomics—tremendous progress has been made even in the last decade in improving our understanding of human development and disease mechanisms.
Further advances are essential in order to integrate genomics into medicine in an impactful way, but a solid foundation has been laid, and with continued effort and innovation, the next decade could be transformative.
This eBook will explore that foundation, taking a comprehensive look at some of those technologies and tools, including scRNA-seq, sequencing of DNA assemblies, DNA amplification, in vivo imaging, nucleic acid detection, and synthetic biology, that provide a solid footing for advances now upon us and those yet to come.
