Thyroid function tests play a central role to assess thyroid function and are valuable companions for clinicians. The evolution of the tests is permanent and clinical laboratories are key pla...
It is well known that laboratories often handle sensitive information. The negative consequences can be severe when there is a breach of data and confidentiality. Therefore, when choosing a...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become the most effective tool in the practice of clinical oncology. The technology allows for rapid detection of variants in DNA/RNA simultaneously in a...
Single-cell gene expression analysis helps biologists and bioinformaticians reveal complex and rare cell populations, uncover regulatory relationships among genes and analyze and visualize g...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting approximately 1 in 50,000 people worldwide. About 10% of these cases are found to have a hereditary component, bu...
Nanopore sequencing has enormous potential for application to cancer, but specifically offers advantages into two main arenas, epigenetics and structural variation. Methylation is well-known...
Small size, highly selective nature, flexible chemistry and ease of manufacturing make nucleic acid aptamers attractive for multiple applications in human diagnostics and drug discovery. &nbs...
Characterizing cellular hierarchy has profound implications in development and diseases. Single-cell technologies have great potential in discovering new cell types and lineage relationships,...
Rob Dunn has recently published Never Out of Season, the story of the homogenization of our global food supply and the risks that homogenization poses. He will build on the stories from this...
Many Americans have succumbed to the scare tactics of the dermatological community, and avoid sunlight for fear of skin cancer and premature aging. Therefore, most of us suffer from vitamin D...
Although there have been enormous advances in gene sequencing, the results give massive amounts of data that only point to disease risk. Major health factors, including diet, lifestyle, envir...
Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing are producing exciting new insights into cell diversity within different tissues and cancers. Listen in to hear Dr Gonçalo Castelo-B...
The deposition and removal of DNA and histone modifications depends on the availability of specific metabolites, suggesting that cellular metabolic pathways may dynamically regulate chromatin...
Have you ever tried to access the genomic profiles of cell lines before using them in your preclinical experiments just to come up empty-handed? Maybe you’ve scoured public databases f...
Integrating external and internal ‘omics data is a key element of hypothesis generation, target identification, and biomarker prioritization when it comes to drug discovery. It is neve...
Despite available vaccines and treatments, COVID-19 continues to impose a major burden in the world, as a leading cause of hospitalizations and deaths. We and others have been working in te...
Background: Growing evidence supports the critical role of preexisting immune response in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, there are limitations with current evaluation approac...
To provide insight on the utility and practicality of implementing a pharmacist-driven pharmacogenomics program in a community pharmacy or primary care setting and to provide a clinical updat...
We’ll discuss the rapid discovery efforts to identify human monoclonal antibody drugs that protect against COVID-19. We will review the technologies used to find antibodies, the optima...
Ageing is a complex process that has been observed in all biological systems at every level of organisation. Some anti-ageing interventions have demonstrated life-extending effects in model o...
Nucleotide variation in gene regulatory elements is a major cause of human disease. Despite continual progress in the cataloging of these elements, little is known about the code and grammati...
Similar to the “histone code” hypothesis in which epigenetic marks on histone tails expand the information potential of the genetic code, different tubulin isoforms, combined wit...
Recent technological advances as well as longitudinal monitoring not only have the potential to improve the treatment of disease (Precision Medicine) but also empower people to stay healthy (...
Flaviviruses are pathogens of global public health concern. They include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), and zika virus (ZIKV). There are no approved US Food and Drug Administrat...
Regardless of method, single cell RNA-seq only captures a small fraction of the transcriptome of each cell. Often, this is due to inherent limitations of the methodology as reads ‘drop...
Crime scene investigation is more than just processing or documentation of crime scenes, nor is it just the collection or packaging of physical evidence. It is the first step and the most cr...
