COVID-19 research risks ignoring important host genes due to pre-established research patterns
23 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
It is known that research into human genes is heavily skewed towards genes that have been widely studied for decades, including many genes that were being studied before the productive phase of the Human Genome Project. This means that the genes most frequently investigated by the research community tend to be only marginally more important to human physiology and disease than a random selection of genes. Based...
