Local reporting and context | Bull City Citizen Editorial Desk
Duke Today highlighted a national effort to improve understanding of the human genome in its September science coverage. The university's science and technology desk also tracks genetics, medicine and computational research across campus.
Why it matters in Durham
Durham's life-sciences businesses can benefit from stronger fundamental knowledge, but genomics has a history of overpromised timelines. Research results need rigorous review before a diagnostic test or treatment can be regarded as useful. The public should separate a research collaboration from a patient-ready advance.
