The genetic database includes nearly 12,000 pieces of information that researchers and providers can use to develop precision medicine therapies for COVID-19.
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham have created a genetic database designed to help advance precision medicine treatments for COVID-19.
The database, called PAGER-CoV-2, includes 11,835 pathways, annotated gene lists, and gene signatures (PAGs). Pathways are the roadmap that describes how genes are turned on and off and how they establish connections with each other. Annotated gene lists are empirical information that researchers collect from experiments or literature, while gene lists help researchers understand how a certain cell type behaves under different conditions.
A gene signature is a unique pattern of gene expression within a cell...
