A profile of an individual’s gene expression pattern can provide doctors with important details, including disease prognosis and how a patient may respond to certain drugs. According to Garraway, few diagnostic tests exist currently that can provide patients with mutation information for multiple genes. “Until recently we have had to use direct sequencing to find specific mutations in tumors,” wrote William C. Hahn, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, in an e-mail...

One particularly troubling rule is that the Core has minimum requirements for amounts of reading, exams, and papers that prevents classes like tutorials—often the best taught and most valuable classes—from counting. We applaud the Task Force for making it clear...
