Update news genome sequencing
Vietnam has recorded first cases infected with variant B.1.617 originating from India, and all the patients are Indian experts entering from their home country.
Vietnam’s readiness to join the fight against the coronavirus in the globe is reflected in its scientific activities.
Gene analysis is the use of DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) in the cells of human body to identify genetic factors such as physical conditions and disease risk in each person.
Scientists of the Genome Research Institute under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology are contributing to the accurate diagnosis of five rare diseases by using next-generation gene sequencing technology.
Investing and encouraging research on genome and gene sequencing in a systematic way will bring valuable data, thus supporting health care and treatment of diseases, especially cancer and inherited diseases.
