Genomics Just because it's in your genes, doesn't mean it's your fate One thing we constantly battle in genomics is, “What does it all mean?”
Epigenetics The formulation of the histone code forever changed our view of the genome Histones were once thought to just be dumb structural proteins that held chromatin together; now we know that the ‘histone code’ is a major regulator of gene expression.

Population Genetics When a "rare variant" isn't actually rare A lack of genetic database diversity highlights red herrings in disease diagnosis
Genetics Genetic discrimination is still alive and well in the US Did you know that before 2008, insurers could discriminate against you based on your genetic risk for disease?
Vaccines mRNA vaccines almost didn't happen It is estimated that COVID-19 vaccination has prevented over 20 million deaths worldwide. We can thank the dogged perseverance of a browbeaten scientist for that.

Neuroscience New genes and pathways have been discovered in bipolar disorder 60-80% of people with bipolar disorder (BD) inherited it from a family member, but the genetic causes of BD are largely unknown.
Genomic Mapping How genomic mapping finally helped to "complete" the human genome, kinda Did you know the human genome wasn't actually completed until 2022? No, seriously!
Proteins The structure of tRNA won a Nobel, the person who figured it out, didn't The next great mystery to solve after the discovery of the DNA double helix was to figure out how the nucleotide sequence coded for proteins.
