    Cost Effectiveness of Sequencing 34 Cancer-Associated Genes as an Aid for Treatment Selection in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma

    To determine whether a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel of 34 cancer-associated genes would cost-effectively aid in the treatment selection for patients with metastatic melanoma, compared with a single-s...

    Genetic Testing for Early Detection of Individuals at Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Monitoring Response to Therapy: Challenges and Promises

    Coronary heart disease (CHD) often presents suddenly with little warning. Traditional risk factors are inadequate to identify the asymptomatic high-risk individuals. Early identification of patients with subcl...

    Proportionally more deleterious genetic variation in European than in African populations

    The analysis of genome-wide patterns of variation in human populations can provide genetic evidence of patterns of human migration and adaptation across the world. Two contrasting papers in this issue illustra...

    Natural selection on protein-coding genes in the human genome

    Are we still evolving? The simple answer is yes. A comparison of the sequences of over 11,000 genes from 39 human individuals and from chimpanzees reveals more than 1,139 genes that show evidence of either pos...

    Diagnosis of HIV Infection and the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

    Since the description of the first cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in 1981, the global impact of this new epidemic has been dramatic. By July, 1993, more than 150 countries had reported over...

    Cloning and endonuclease map** of the hepatitis B viral genome

    THE virus that causes hepatitis B, or serum hepatitis, seems to infect only humans in nature, and experimental infection has been achieved in only a few additional mammals. The limited host range of the hepati...
