Bio-IT World | The Regeneron Genetics Center has undertaken the exome sequencing and analysis of 500,000 samples from the UK Biobank, using the DNAnexus Platform to host the dataset and run Regeneron’s software pipeline. To increase the value to the RGC UKB consortium, Regeneron and DNAnexus partnered to construct a combined database of the UKB genomic and phenotypic data to explore through an innovative user interface.

Bio-IT World | Although wildly used, rational structure-based drug design techniques are far from being applied to their fullest potential. AbbVie and Discngine addressed the pitfalls by co-developing a web-based structural knowledge management solution called 3decision.

Bio-IT World | Sentieon's DNAseq and TNseq software, are making waves in the life sciences, creating a "drop in replacement" that is a faster and cheaper alternative to the industry standard for secondary analysis in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data processing while producing the industry standard results.

Bio-IT World | G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels, and transporters represent some of the most important drug target classes across a wide range of diseases. According to Catherine Hutchings, progress in targeting these membrane proteins requires a recognition of not only what works, but also what doesn't.

STAT | Two influential leaders in science for the first time publicly condemned a Russian biologist who said he plans to produce gene-edited babies but conceded that it was beyond their organizations’ authority to halt him from doing so.
