Advances in Genetics Research presents original research results on the leading edge of genetics discovery. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. In this continuing series compilation, the authors present and discuss patent roadmap for the biosensor space; avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder in a female patient affected by Marfan syndrome; optimising oil production in B. napus by gene stacking; periodontitis; genomic imprinting and the brain:: neuron-specific switching of gene expression at imprinting regions; and pharmacogenomics focusing on phase two metabolising enzymes.
