Science Saturday: Researchers find widespread sex bias in molecular biology tools

Widely used sex-biased maps of molecular biology are holding back individualized medicine, say Mayo Clinic scientists. Maps clarify how places are connected.  In biology, the same is true for databases that map out how aspects of biology are connected. Different biological databases examine genes (genomics), how those gene instructions are read (transcriptomics), what is made from the gene instructions (proteomics), and how that gene product breaks down in the body (metabolomics).
