Genomic Medicine is an incredibly fast moving field awash in information. Successful practice requires ongoing access to authoritative and regularly-updated, yet focused resources for both pr...
While next-generation sequencing has proven to be a very useful tool in basic research, two major hurdles remain for its broad adoption in the clinical research setting: lack of seamless work...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
In December 2012 the UK Prime Minister announced the 100,000 genomes project to introduce whole genome sequencing for treatment into the UK National Health Service (NHS) o...
Working with animals carries legal, scientific and ethical responsibilities. These responsibilities merge as we strive to humanely use the least number of animals necessary to provide t...
Translational failure in biomedicine has led to much soul-searching about the causes for this. Amongst many others (misunderstanding of statistical tests, vibration of effects, flexibility in...
Introduction and adoption of whole-genome sequencing has enabled new methods of investigation in the quest for answers in diagnostic odyssey cases as well as in the broader study of genetic d...
The antibiotic pipeline is broken, with a dearth of new antibiotics, a collapse in pharmaceutical company research1, and the exhaustion of chemical diversity contained in pharma libraries. "T...
Technological advances in high throughput, low cost DNA sequencing coupled with the availability of a high quality reference assembly allow us to interrogate the genome with greater precision...
Advanced sequencing technologies have made population scale whole genome sequencing a possibility. However, current strategies for analysis of this data rely upon parallelization approaches t...
As evidenced by the changes in the new Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory animals and the latest AVMA Panel on Euthanasia, it is clear that there is growing concern about the care and w...
An anesthesia system designed to accommodate the physiological characteristics of small animals, including rats and mice, has the potential to provide great practical value to the life scienc...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
In this presentation I describe pathway based analyses of genotyping data to identify pathways related to the development of complex diseases, with a focus on lung cancer and selected autoimm...
One of the hallmarks of human cancers is genetic instability. My colleagues and I recently identified a remarkable association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and genomic structural variat...
The ENCODE and modENCODE consortia have generated a resource containing large amounts of transcriptomic data, extensive mapping of chromatin states, as well as the binding locations of >30...
