Paradigm4 has signed an agreement with 54Gene allowing the latter to use the former’s Reveal Biobank App to explore, characterise and query 54Gene’s African Health Information Ecosystem, which is a curated data source of clinical phenotype and genetic information from which insights can be generated to assist the development of treatments and diagnostics.
Peptides play important roles in human physiology. They present as intact peptides or can arise from protein degradation. Regardless of the source, peptidomics—the characterization of intact peptides in a biological sample—is fast emerging as an approach to uncover another layer in human health and disease.
Precision medicine is one of the most talked about trends in healthcare. The promise is improved health outcomes and patient satisfaction, gained through an understanding of individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Recent commentators suggest that many of the technologies required to realize this goal already exist—and predict much
Metabolomics—often referred to as the youngest of the omics—provides key insight into phenotype. However, bulk metabolomics requires the homogenization of the sample and is thus unable to discern metabolic differences at a cellular level.
