Pharmacogenomics in Psoriasis Treatment
Pharmacogenomic studies allowed the reasons behind the different responses to treatments to be understood. Its clinical utility, in fact, is demonstrated by the reduction in adverse drug reaction incidence and the improvement of drug efficacy. Pharmacogenomics is an important tool that is able to improve the drug therapy of different disorders.

Long-Chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency is a rare condition that prevents the body from converting certain fats to energy, particularly during periods without food (fasting).

Generalizability of GWA-Identified Genetic Risk Variants
The Arabian Peninsula, located at the nexus of Africa, Europe, and Asia, was implicated in early human migration. The Arab population is characterized by consanguinity and endogamy leading to inbreeding. Global genome-wide association (GWA) studies on metabolic traits under-represent the Arab population. Replicability of GWA-identified association signals in the Arab population has not been satisfactorily explored. It is important to assess how well GWA-identified findings generalize if their clinical interpretations are to benefit the target population.

Non-Human Primate Models of Inherited Retinal Diseases
Given the significant shared similarities between Non-human primates (NHP) and humans, NHP Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) models have the potential to provide insight into the pathogenic processes involved. In turn, this can significantly de-risk and accelerate the therapeutic development of gene therapy. Although models created using genetic methods can better recapitulate the pathogenesis of IRDs compared to laser and chemical methods, there are concerns of cost and efficacy. As improvements are made to current genetic editing technology, especially in terms of editing efficiency and reducing off-target editing, it is likely that more NHP IRD models will emerge over the subsequent years.

Diversity Arrays Technology
Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) is a high-throughput genetic marker technique that can detect allelic variations to provides comprehensive genome coverage without any DNA sequence information for genotyping and other genetic analysis. The general steps involve reducing the complexity of the genomic DNA with specific restriction enzymes, choosing diverse fragments to serve as representations for the parent genomes, amplify via polymerase chain reaction (PCR), insert fragments into a vector to be placed as probes within a microarray, then fluorescent targets from a reference sequence will be allowed to hybridize with probes and put through an imaging system. The objective is to identify and quantify various forms of DNA polymorphism within genomic DNA of sampled species. First reported in 2001 by Damian Jaccoud, Andrzej Kilian, David Feinstein, and Kaiman Peng, DArT prioritized significant advantages over other traditional primer-based methods like the ability to analyze large amounts of various samples from a low amount of initial DNA. It also afforded low costs and faster results compared to related solid state DNA arrays that detected Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Since its inception, the technology has been a major instrument in the analysis of polyploid plants as well as in the construction of physical and genetic map to understand related on species based on similarities and allelic variances among their genomes.

Blood Biomarkers for Breast Cancer
The expression of two oncogenic miRNAs, miR526b and miR655, in poorly metastatic breast cancer cells enhances aggressive breast cancer phenotypes. miR526b and miR655 expression in breast tumors is associated with poor patient survival.  Both miRNAs are major regulators of the tumor microenvironment and can be detected in cell-free tumor cell secretions. Precursors of both miRNAs, pri-miR526b and pri-miR655, are sensitive and robust blood biomarkers to distinguish cancer from benign plasmas.
