FAQs about Illumina Genomics Podcast:How many episodes does Illumina Genomics Podcast have?The podcast currently has 86 episodes available.
May 11, 2020Standardization of Clinical Whole Genome SequencingWhole genome sequencing has the potential to supplant the traditional stepwise approach to genetic testing, but standard laboratory guidelines and clinical best practices are critical for implementing the technology. Listen to Dr. Christian Marshall of The Hospital for Sick Children explain how laboratory and clinical best practices can help enable whole genome sequencing for diagnosing genetic diseases....more21minPlay
April 29, 2020Rapid Genome Sequencing of Critically Ill ChildrenGenetic diseases are the leading cause of death among infants that are hospitalized in intensive care, and an estimated four percent of newborns in North America may be affected. Listen to Dr. Shimul Chowdhury, of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, explain how rapid whole genome sequencing can help pinpoint the causes of rare diseases in children....more24minPlay
April 22, 2020Integrating Genomics with Behavioral SciencesBehavioral medicine holds the promise of helping scientists better understand how genomics outputs impact on individuals and their lives. Listen to Professor Catharine Wang of Boston University explain her research on how individuals adopt new health technologies, including genomics and molecular diagnostics....more26minPlay
April 01, 2020Growing the Invertebrate Tree of Life with GenomicsInvertebrates make up 95% of all animal species. They’ve been around for hundreds of millions of years and help to maintain the health of our planet. Listen to Professor Gonzalo Giribet of Harvard College and the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology explain how genomic and morphological data from living and extinct animals is helping scientists to better understand invertebrate evolution and diversity....more19minPlay
March 19, 2020DNA Structural Variants from Microscope to SequencerStructural variants are relatively large changes in DNA sequence across the genome, and they play a significant role in human disease. Listen to Dr. Michael Talkowski of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School explain how genomics is helping us to understand the biology of DNA structural variation and its impact on human developmental and psychiatric disorders....more23minPlay
March 04, 2020Finding Rare Diseases and Genome SequencingAccording to the California Healthcare Institute, up to 10% of the population may be affected by a rare disease. But because each individual disease is rare, it can be challenging for health care professionals to correctly diagnose and treat them. Listen to Dr. Christine Stanley of Variantyx explain how whole genome sequencing can impact on the understanding and diagnosis of rare genetic disorders....more24minPlay
February 19, 2020Genomics of Diet and Precision NutritionAccording to the CDC, up to 40% of adults in the United States are obese. Diet and exercise play critical roles in obesity and in our general health, but what is the best diet; and, is that diet best for everyone? Listen to Dr. José M. Ordovás of Tufts University discuss nutrigenomics, the study of how our genomes impact on our nutrition and health....more24minPlay
February 06, 2020Drug Discovery through Gene RegulationTargeted drug discovery has traditionally focused on inhibiting or modulating the function of abnormal proteins. But many more diseases could potentially be treated by controlling the expression of abnormal and normal genes. Listen to Dr. Eric R. Olson of Syros Pharmaceuticals explain how epigenomics is enabling a paradigm shift in drug discovery....more24minPlay
January 22, 20202019 and the Year in GenomicsIn 2019, NGS continued to enable scientists to make great strides in understanding human biology and disease. In this special compilation episode, I’ll share some of our 2019 podcast highlights. We’ll also share our expert guests’ predictions for science, medicine, and genomics – where we were in 2019, and where we’re going in 2020 and beyond....more26minPlay
December 11, 2019Comprehensive Genomic Tumor ProfilingNGS-based genomics assays can help characterize the genetic profile of a tumor, and these technologies are poised to supplant single-gene testing in oncology. But, what impact will this revolutionary technology have on patients, clinicians, and the entire healthcare system? Listen to Dr. Brian Piening of the Providence Cancer Institute explain how NGS is changing the standard of care in oncology....more20minPlay
