Frequently Asked Questions

Does Clinical Trials cover gene therapy IND-stage studies?

Clinical Trials searches ClinicalTrials.gov, which covers registered studies from Phase 1 onwards. IND-enabling preclinical work is not included. Studies are required to register before first patient enrollment, so Phase 1 gene therapy trials appear as soon as they begin recruiting.

Can Drug Information cover approved gene therapies like Casgevy or Luxturna?

Yes. Drug Information covers the FDA drug labeling database, which includes approved gene and cell therapies. For recently approved products, the most current labeling is retrieved.

Can Academic Research find papers on population genomics and GWAS studies?

Academic Research covers the full scope of genetics and genomics literature including GWAS, population genetics, functional genomics, and clinical genetics. You can filter by study type, date, and keyword to target any subfield.

Is there a way to check off-target editing analysis papers?

Academic Research can search for papers on off-target analysis methods (e.g., GUIDE-seq, CIRCLE-seq, DISCOVER-seq) and their application to specific CRISPR tools. Deep Research is additionally useful for compiling comparative method performance summaries.

Are Grants Finder results specific to genomics and gene therapy funding?

Grants Finder covers all NIH institutes, so queries focused on NHGRI, NIDDK, NCATS, and disease-specific institutes (e.g., NCI for cancer genetics) will surface genomics-relevant opportunities. Private foundations like Broad Institute, Gates Foundation, and rare disease foundations are also included.
