For people in rural communities, access to genomic testing can require getting on a waitlist, delays in clinical assessment, and multiple visits to urban medical centers. A pilot study from Children's Mercy Research Institute in Kansas City, Missouri, found that by partnering with a rural clinic in a direct-to-provider model it was able to more than double the historic rate for rare disease diagnosis among the rural population and also cut the time-to-diagnosis by about five months. We spoke to Ana Cohen, assistant director of molecular genetics at CMRI, about its direct-to-provider model, how providing local support to patients at their regular clinics allowed them to bypass bottlenecks, and how the approach can shorten the time to a diagnosis for people with rare diseases in rural communities.
Robert Green is a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School. He's the director of Genetics Research at Brigham and Women's hospital and the co-founder of Nurture Genomics, where they're doing genomic screening for infants to detect and mitigate actionable genetic conditions. If you don't understand what that means, you're in the right place because we have a long conversation, digging into that topic and picking it apart for your understanding. This is a super exciting frontier for medicine. We are at a point where we know the science, and we know how to sequence a genome. We know how to correlate some of those things that we see in the genetic code to actual health problems that are predictive. Some of this is just a bug in the code that causes you to get some kind of cancer or other degenerative disease. We know it's there and in a lot of cases, we actually know what to do about it. There is no systematic screening for people, much less for infants. That's what Robert's trying to solve. This is very important, very exciting stuff and It will change the future of how we take care of people and prevent genetic diseases from disrupting their lives and taking their lives. You want to know about this. This is a great conversation. He's very good at explaining what's been found in the science and how they're implementing it. Enjoy!

There's a quiet revolution happening in the field of genetic screening of newborns. Within the last couple of years it's become possible to sequence the entire genome of a newborn baby, all six billion base pairs of DNA, and diagnose potential genetic disorders in about 7 hours. That's already happening in a handful of hospitals, with a focus on babies who are showing symptoms of rare genetic disorders. But within five years, says Harry's guest, Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, it should be possible to extend this rapid whole-genome sequencing to every baby in every hospital, whether they're showing symptoms or not.Kingsmore earned his medical degrees in Northern Ireland, trained in internal medicine and rheumatology at Duke, and studied genomic medicine at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. And he's now the president and CEO of the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. There, he's been leading an aggressive push to prove that rapid whole-genome sequencing and diagnosis can not only save the lives of newborns, but save the healthcare system a lot of money by making hospital stays shorter and therapies more directed. He's been able to use that argument to get Medicaid agencies in California and five other states, as well as a handful of private insurance companies, to cover whole-genome sequencing as the new standard of care for babies who end up in intensive care with unexplained illnesses. And if his newest project, BeginNGS, succeeds, it could lead to universal screening of all newborns for hundreds or even thousands of rare genetic disorders.

Genome sequencing has become a household term during this pandemic. This week, we explore how it became an important tool in the fight against Covid-19.
Genome sequencing was New Zealand's superpower during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our Changing World gets the inside story of our remarkable use of this tech, and what it revealed about the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
For the 100th episode of The Harry Glorikian Show, Harry welcomes Phil Febbo, chief medical officer at Illumina. The San Diego-based company is the leading maker of the high-speed gene sequencing machines that are at the core of the precision medicine revolution. The company has an 80 percent market share, which means that if you or your loved one has had any sequencing done for any reason, chances are your samples were sequenced on an Illumina machine. Gene sequencing is already a key part of both diagnostics and treatment decisions for many disease, but its use is only going to expand as the technology gets faster and cheaper.This fall, Illumina announced that it's coming out a new gene sequencing machine called the NovaSeq X that can sequence a genome more than twice as fast as Illumina's previous top-of-the-line machine, and at a lower cost. That's bound to speed up progress all across the field of genetic medicine, drug discovery, and life science research. And that's where Harry starts his interview with Febbo.For a full transcript of this episode, please visit our episode page at http://www.glorikian.com/podcast Please rate and review The Harry Glorikian Show on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode: We are back talking with Mike Hu about Project GUARDIAN. Project GUARDIAN advocates for and supports sequencing based newborn screening to identify pre-symptomatic patients who can either benefit from early intervention using existing treatments or eligible for clinical trials of novel treatments, at a disease stage when treatment could be maximally efficacious. We discuss what genome sequencing is and the role it can play in diagnosis of rare diseases in the future. We also discussed epigenetic modifications that are specific to an individual. How is genomic sequencing different than mass spectrometry and how could it transform newborn screening? Mike unpacks his vision. When we talk about expansion of the newborn screening system, it is necessary to introduce new platforms that go beyond mass spectrometry, and genomic sequencing is a suitable one. We discuss the challenges introducing large scale sequence based newborn screening studies in the US. The National MPS Society exists to cure, support, and advocate for MPS and ML.If you like Our Voices, visit our website and follow us on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

We talk about democratizing science and DNA sequencing, and we talk about what some practical applications of this science are and how to make it accessible to people who DON'T want to take out 150 grand in student loans in order to learn it.
On this ID the Future from the vault, philosopher of science Paul Nelson concludes his talk with host Andrew McDiarmid on what it takes to converse effectively with scientists who are trapped in a naturalistic parabola — that is, researchers who draw their conclusions from naturalism's authority rather than following the evidence wherever it leads. Nelson urges us to keep the third party in the conversation: nature herself. We listen to nature through experiment, he says, and warns against the message from scientists such as CalTech's Sean Carroll who have suggested that testing is “overrated.” If we listen and test, nature can keep revealing herself in surprising ways, says Nelson, which is what makes science so fun.

Genome sequencing is one of the most exciting scientific breakthroughs of the past thirty years. But what precisely does it involve and how is it developing? In Genomics: How Genome Sequencing Will Change Healthcare (Random House, 2022), Rachael Pells explains the science behind genomics. She analyses its practical applications in medical diagnosis and the treatment of conditions that range from cancer to severe allergic reactions to cystic fibrosis. She considers its potential to help with advances in agriculture and environmental science. She explores the ethics of genetic modification and the dangers involved when humans 'play God'. And she addresses the fundamental question: to what extent will future advances transform human longevity and the quality of life. Galina Limorenko is a doctoral candidate in Neuroscience with a focus on biochemistry and molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases at EPFL in Switzerland. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Galapagos Islands are famous for their tortoises, among many other things. A few million years ago, some giant tortoises from South America were somehow carried across hundreds of miles of ocean to the islands – perhaps on driftwood during storms. Tortoises don't swim, so any that made to an island could only breed with […]
Imagine trying to put together a puzzle with over 900 million pieces without the picture on the box... That's how PhD candidate Stephanie Chen describes her world-first research assembling the complete genome of the iconic waratah species.
What is genome sequencing and how does it help us track diseases? Why do countries need to continue genome sequencing in this phase of the pandemic? WHO's Chief Scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan explains in Science in 5 .
Tahmima Anam is an anthropologist and a novelist. She's a big fan of silence and believes it can been harnessed to challenge sexism and expose bad behaviour. We talk about the pros, cons and ethics of genome sequencing for new-borns. A new pilot will be running shortly, so we speak to Vivienne Parry, Head of Engagement at Genomics England and Rebecca Middleton, who has an inherited brain aneurysm disorder and is a member of the panel representing parents and health care professionals. Do you know what "fexting" is? Do you do it? It's in the headlines because the First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden, has admitted that she 'fexts' with her husband. It means fights over text. So we're asking is it a good way to row? Behavioural psychologist and relationship coach, Jo Hemmings helps us out. In Japan abortion pills are illegal, but that's due to change by the end of the year. However it looks like a woman who's in a relationship will need permission from her male partner before she gets them, plus the cost could be out of reach for many. We speak to women rights campaigner, Kazuko Fukuda, and the BBC's Mariko Oi in Tokyo. And we've got Twinnie, the singer and songwriter from York. She describes her music as country pop, and her new track is called Welcome To The Club.

Welcome to Conversations on Sol Luckman Uncensored, sponsored by Snooze2Awaken.com, Resources for Lucidity. For more information about my work, including a lot of fantastic free content, check out www.CrowRising.com. I'm also now on Telegram, where I'm sharing daily truth bombs at https://t.me/solluckman … Today, for the first time on the show, I have the privilege of interviewing one of the most salient COVID debunkers in the entire blogosphere: Mike Stone. I urge you to spend some quality time with his extraordinary work at https://viroliegy.com. Owing to his keen insight and gift as a writer, Mike has exploded onto the radar among the community of skeptics of not just the official but even most alternative COVID narratives, having been referenced by the likes of Dr. Tom Cowan and Dr. Sam Bailey. I've reblogged several of Mike's articles, including: The Case against “Viral” Genomes https://snooze2awaken.com/2022/03/14/the-case-against-viral-genomes Documenting the “Virus” Lie https://snooze2awaken.com/2022/02/28/documenting-the-virus-lie and The Challenges Related to RNA Extraction for Genome Sequencing https://snooze2awaken.com/2022/02/08/the-challenges-related-to-rna-extraction-for-genome-sequencing This isn't light reading, folks, but it's ESSENTIAL reading for anyone interested in knowing the TRUTH about the LIES of virology. By way of further introduction, in Mike's own words: "I am not a doctor, virologist, microbiologist, scientist, etc. Many will use this against me. My educational background is in Health and Exercise Science. I have been a personal trainer, a nutritionist, and currently I am a health/wellness coach. What I share here is based upon years of research and reading from the original studies/sources."

Modern technology can be one of our most powerful allies to heal and to radiant health. In this episode I speak to Dr. Michael Snyder about the current state and the future of wearable technology and big data and how it shapes personalized medicine. Dr. Michael Snyder is the chairman of the Department of Genetics and the director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University. Wearable electronic devices can help consumers and patients monitor their health, sleep, fitness, mood and even alert to the presence of an infection. Additionally wearables can share information with the user's physician, enabling the wearer to monitor and maintain health in real time. Dr. Snyder himself uses eight wearables and refers to himself as one of the most extensively monitored scientific researchers. When it comes to data, he is an advocate for "more is better" and today he will share with us why. In this episode, you'll learn: -A day in the life at Snyder lab on Stanford University campus...02:15 -Using genome sequencing to prevent disease risk...04:35 -How technology can save lives through early identification...07:30 -Glucose monitors as a means to know what foods spike glucose...10:15 -Big biometric data, wearables data, and privacy concerns...13:45 -Benefits of data outweigh risks: detection before symptoms...18:00 -Every decision about your health is based on population based measurements ...21:00 -Dr. Snyder explains the eight wearable devices he wears daily...23:50 -Aging molecular type: how are YOU aging?...25:25 -Predictions for personalized medicine and the role of wearables...28:45 -Health care will focus on differentiation from individualized baselines...32:30 -The economic factor of extended life span and extended health span...36:10 -Ageism in our youth focused culture...38:35 -The need for creative ways to transform American 'sick care' to a true health care system...40:30 -The personal practice that Dr. Snyder swears by...44:40 Resources mentioned: https://med.stanford.edu/snyderlab/about.html (Dr. Snyder's website) https://www.amazon.com/Genomics-Personalized-Medicine-Everyone-Needs/dp/0190234768/ (Dr. Snyder's book, Genomics and Personalized Medicine: What everyone needs to know)

In this episode hosts Astra, Fel, and Han explore ancestry, the importance of DNA in determining eligibility to participate in closed practices and other traditions alongside issues of biological essentialism. Do DNA tests such as 23 & Me actually give you accurate and useable data? If so, how, if at all, does that translate to occult practices? Or is a practice defined by the spirituality of location and not through biological inheritance?Want to discuss these topics with us more?
