As viral threats continue to emerge, viral detection assays are important not only for recognizing if a virus is present, but also for surveillance and variant characterization. Accurate det...
Arrayed gene knockout (KO) libraries represent a valuable resource for performing functional genomics screening. Current generation arrayed KO libraries for the whole human genome rely on eit...
The ability of single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) to measure the transcriptional basis of heterogeneity between individual cells is transforming biomedical research. It enables the precise &lsq...
Laboratories use the same laboratory equipment they invested in for COVID testing to perform PGx testing. With COVID testing reimbursement dropping, many laboratorians are considering implem...
Variant interpretation presents a bottleneck for many labs, posing a challenge to the broader adoption of precision medicine. The ACMG/AMP variant classification framework has provided a foun...
It was 10 years ago that Illumina first launched the Genome Analyzer II, the world’s first high-throughput sequencing platform. That system could produce one billion bps of sequen...
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and its oral analog capecitabine are fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy agents used in several solid tumors. Approximately 5% of patients inherit diminished or null activity...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe alternative (non-B) DNA structures, how prevalent are they and what are their biological implications? 2. Explain why non-B DNA structures might be relevant...
This session provides an overview of how the applications for infectious disease and microbiology on the MISeq i100 Series can support genomic surveillance for managing disease outbreaks, co...
The human genome encodes 25,000 genes. But the biological complexity inherent in polygenic traits is a clear sign that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Genes, gene products, a...
Somatic mutations that arise during development are increasingly recognized as contributors to neurodevelopmental disease. One challenge has been to determine how mosaic mutations contribute...
Performance. Automation. Convenience. Versatility. Those three elements exemplify the Miltenyi Biotec family of flow cytometers. Designed to support the field of flow cytometry, the MACSQuan...
This session provides an introduction to the MiSeq i100 Series, the simplest, fastest benchtop sequencer. Giving a brief overview of the revolutionary technology that's been built into the n...
Structural variants (SVs), defined as rearrangements of genomic sequences, are both a major source of genetic diversity in human populations and are also directly responsible for the pathogen...
Learning Objectives: 1. Identify different kinds of genomic resources 2. Learn to apply the features available in genomic resources to cancer variant interpretation 3. Describe the importanc...
Microbial communities include distinct lineages of closely related organisms which have proved challenging to separate in metagenomic assembly. Challenges include the existence of highly rel...
Pathogen detection and surveillance have become a high priority in both healthcare and environmental settings for the safety of patients and the general public. The COVID-19 pandemic highlig...
NGS Bioinformatics software has come of age. Our workflows need software solutions that don’t only carry out the correct calculations to give the correct results reliably and unambiguo...
Graphene-based Biology-gated Transistors (Cardean Transistors) directly read molecular signals of active biology using advanced electronics. This proprietary tech breakthrough can be used as...
The Type 2 Diabetes Knowledge Portal is an open-access resource for human genetic information on type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is a central repository for data from large genomic studies that ide...
Over the past ten years, CRISPR technology has revolutionized genome engineering, as reflected by the recently awarded Nobel Prize. Nevertheless, the process of performing and characterizing...
As the SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread and evolve and vaccination efforts are under way, countries around the world are confronting new public health challenges due to the emergence and rapid...
Infectious gastroenteritis is a disease caused by bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens in which the small and/or large intestines become severely inflamed. Because infectious gastroenter...
Background: Pathologists have long recognized that the interaction between immune and tumour cells is critical in the development and progression of breast cancer. Studies have demonstrated...
While CRISPR-Cas9 has dominated the science headlines in recent years, there has been a broad social and moral consensus that it is too soon to move to clinical use of genome editing in human...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
As viral threats continue to emerge, viral detection assays are important not only for recognizing if a virus is present, but also for surveillance and variant characterization. Accurate det...
