In recent research, the technical capability of wholly Australian-owned bioinformatics start-up, 23Strands, to decipher big data about genomics is revolutionising scientific research in women’s health. 23Strands’ work in genomics was linked with known molecular pathways for endometriosis to identify key genes associated with the disease.
Press Release
Sydney-based biotech start-up, 23Strands to play an integral and leading role in researching the benefit of genomic medicine to Indigenous Australians.
Leading this 5 year collaboration is Professor Alex Brown from the Australian National University who focussed on establishing the National Indigenous Genomics Network of research nodes to engage with Indigenous Australians in genetic research and health care in a culturally safe way.

A mutation present in modern humans seems to drive greater neuron growth than does an ancient hominin version.
Research News
Researchers have identified DNA regions that are associated with physical activity or leisure screen time. The findings confirm that physical activity is beneficial for health and suggest that a more sedentary lifestyle can be explained by how muscles respond to exercise.

The new test utilises an algorithm that can spot repetitive elements in whole genome sequences, by comparing those from healthy people with those affected by repeat expansion disorders
Research News
A new study aimed at explaining different responses to viral epidemics reveals that ancestry and associated genetic variation can explain population-level differences in the immune response to the flu virus and perhaps also to COVID-19.

Genomics England and NHS England findings highlight the benefits of using Whole Genome Sequencing to help detect rare diseases
Research News
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Oxford University have now developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called EVE (evolutionary model of variant effect), which uses a sophisticated type of machine learning to detect patterns of genetic variation across hundreds of thousands of nonhuman species and then use them to make predictions about the meaning of variations in human genes.
