Cancer Research: is basic research into cancer to identify causes and develop strategies for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure. Cancer research ranges from epidemiology, molecular bioscience to the performance of clinical trials to evaluate and compare applications of the various cancer treatments. These applications include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy and combined treatment modalities such as chemo-radiotherapy. Starting in the mid-1990s, the emphasis in clinical cancer research shifted towards therapies derived from biotechnology research, such as cancer immunotherapy and gene therapy.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that emerged in late 2019 has spread globally, causing a pandemic of respiratory illness designated coronavirus disease 2019...
During the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, international monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA revealed that the virus accumulated roughly 2 mutations per month. Nonetheless, one nonsy...
Cancer is a disease of the genome, and as such, tools that can analyze the genome are instrumental in understanding the mechanisms that lead to cancer, detecting cancerous cells, and providi...

Accurate classification of genetic alterations is important to ensure the provision of high-quality clinical data. For interpretation of germline alterations, there are standardized guidelin...
A hypoxic tumour microenvironment is a feature of solid tumours. Many tumour types contain high fractions of hypoxic tissue. The relationship between high levels of tumour hypoxia and a poor...
Up until now, Big Data in healthcare has failed to drive any real progress in curing disease. However, we have just now reached a cost and throughput threshold in sequencing and bioinformati...
The speakers will discuss how to surmount obstacles related to translating sequencing data into actionable results, and propose curated variant content shared with the clinical community as...
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a dramatic toll worldwide. Its impact possibly has been the most palpable amongst uniquely vulnerable groups of patients, such as patients with a cancer diagn...
Esophageal adenocarcinoma [EAC] is the fastest growing in incidence cancer in the US over the last 25 years, while also having a 5 year survival of less than 20%. Barrett’s Esophagus [...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs with an average size of 22 nucleotides that regulate gene expression through various mechanisms. During the last decade, researchers have identified over 26...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
Revolutionary sequencing technologies are enabling whole transcriptome profiling of tens to hundreds of thousands of single cells in parallel, in a single experiment. This has led to an expl...
Understanding the order in which mutations accumulate during cancer progression could help us identify effective therapeutic targets. Yet, our insights are limited by the fact that we can on...
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...
