The bankruptcy of personal genomics company 23andMe is a headline that has broken past the well-heeled haze of the business world — given, of course, its existential implications for millions of Americans’ genetic information.

The most frequently-used approach in functional genomics, called gene set enrichment, aims to determine the function of experimentally-identified gene sets by comparing them to existing genomics databases.

"The whole genomics arena and technology associated with it has opened the door to so many possibilities when it comes to dealing with vectors that pose serious threats to human and animal health."

The researchers made the discovery thanks to spatial genomics, a technique used to study the genetic information of cells in their exact locations within a tissue.

Their single-cell genomics data has also been shared as a resource for scientists around the world, quickly garnering excitement for its answers to this long-standing mystery in evolution.
