🧬 Hereditary cancer testing could save thousands in BC—yet many can’t access it or don’t know it’s an option.

Genome BC–funded teams are working to change that.

How do you know if a salmon has a stomach-ache? 🐟 🤔
A GenomeBC project is seeing if gut microbes can provide early detection. Researchers are developing a simple poop test 💩 for #ChinookSalmon to spot imbalances.
Early warning = better #Fish care!
