Mitochondrial donation aims to prevent babies inheriting harmful mutations from their mother's mitochondrial DNA, which can cause debilitating diseases affecting the heart, brain, and muscles.

The Million Veteran Program is a significant genetic database consisting of DNA data from over a million retired military personnel, aiding research into veterans' health issues and benefitting all Americans.

Colossal Biosciences has created a 'woolly' mouse by using genetic information from woolly mammoths, hoping to one day re-create the Woolly Mammoth.

The tumors are likely to be much less advanced and more likely to be curable.

Germline mutations, particularly de novo mutations, are crucial in assessing disease risk and understanding genetic contributions to pregnancy loss, although many remain unexplored.

John was an innovator at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, always trying to push boundaries and develop groundbreaking technologies that others thought were impossible.

"We are really interested in discovering chemical molecules produced by bacteria. They encode them in genes - which is basically [a] genetic recipe for [a] molecule..."
