Genomics

36.4K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.7K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Next-generation Sequencing

89.8K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

754.7K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Overview of Biostatistics in Health Sciences01:19

Overview of Biostatistics in Health Sciences

507
Biostatistics involves the application of statistical techniques to scientific research in health-related fields, including biology and public health. These techniques are essential for designing studies, collecting data, and analyzing it to draw meaningful conclusions. Given the complexity of biological processes, particularly in studies involving human subjects, biostatistical methods are crucial for effectively organizing and interpreting data that might otherwise obscure underlying patterns...

Biostatistics: Overview

265
Biostatistics plays a crucial role in understanding and analyzing data in healthcare and biology. Biostatisticians conduct experiments, gather evidence, and draw meaningful conclusions using statistical methods and techniques. Different variables form the foundation of biostatistical analysis, allowing researchers to understand and interpret data effectively. These variables are classified into different types, each serving a specific purpose in statistical analysis.
Discrete variables are...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research publishing
  • Scholarly communication

Background:

  • Academic journals have a 350-year history of publishing biomedical research.
  • The peer-review process has evolved significantly over time.
  • Journal brand and Impact Factor are currently used as proxies for quality and impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the historical evolution of academic journal submission vetting.
  • To explore the potential of a decoupled publishing system facilitated by the internet.
  • To propose a new ecosystem for scientific content evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of academic journal practices.
  • Analysis of the impact of the internet on scholarly communication.
  • Conceptualization of a future publishing model.

Main Results:

  • Traditional journal metrics like Impact Factor can conflate trust, quality, and impact.
  • The internet enables a shift towards preprint servers followed by independent evaluation.
  • A new ecosystem could offer multidimensional signals for research assessment.

Conclusions:

  • The current system of journal brand and Impact Factor needs re-evaluation.
  • A future open ecosystem involving preprint servers and independent vetting is proposed.
  • This new model aims to provide a more nuanced assessment of scientific papers, avoiding the pitfalls of current prestige economies.
