Microbiome tests are performed to identify the microbes present in an individual's gut using a fresh stool sample. Molecular analysis of the microbiome can be used to make recommendations on nutrition, diet, and supplements for the individual. Further, microbiome tests can help doctors diagnose diseases inflicting the digestive system such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Celiac disease.
Prokaryotic DNA contains three types of methylation: N6-methyladenine, N4-methylcytosine and 5-methylcytosine. The lack of tools to analyse the frequency and distribution of methylated resid...
Human chromosome 19q13.4 contains genes encoding killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). The region has certain properties such as single nucleotide variation, structural variation,...
Influenza severity is determined by the interplay between the virus and the host response. Previously, we identified a three-pronged lung gene expression signature that predicted severe infl...
The statement by Dimitri Ivanovsky in 1882 that "the sap of leaves infected with tobacco mosaic disease retains its infectious properties even after filtration through Chamberland filte...
The regions of our genome responsible for encoding the genes that regulate our immune response are some of the most complex and polymorphic known. This complexity encompasses multiple types...
Traditionally, virology has been focused in studying the pathogenic effect of viruses. In the recent years, however, this perception is changing and viruses are being studied as mutualistic...
Over the last several decades, antibodies (Abs) have become a valuable weapon in the fight against viral infections, with several studies demonstrating the importance of both neutralizing an...
Most currently used conventional influenza vaccines are based on 1940s technology. Advances in immunogen design and vaccine delivery emerging over the last decade open novel opportunities fo...
The recent outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the need for understanding the evolutionary processes that drive the emergence and adaptation of zoonotic viruses in humans. Here, we show that...
Over the past five years there has been an explosion of research the deep learning field. Companies like Google, Facebook, and OpenAI have created neural networks that are significantly more...
While viral fusion proteins are highly desirable for subunit vaccine generation, their inherent metastable nature complicates implementation and development. We have harnessed the structural...
Background: Haemophilus influenzae is the causative agent of multiple human disease conditions among multiple sites in the human body. Underlying genetic mechanisms are elusive, particularly...
The receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein mediates viral attachment to ACE2 receptor, and is a major determinant of host range and a dominant target of neutraliz...
While the frequency of pandemic threats seems to be increasing, we fortunately have new tools and technologies to make vaccines with more precision and speed and that support a more proactiv...
Influenza infections are initiated by just a handful of virions infecting a handful of cells, so it is important to understand what happens in single infected cells. I will describe work tha...
Seasonal and pandemic influenza virus infections can cause significant disease worldwide. Current vaccines only provide limited, short-lived protection, and antigenic drift/shift in the hema...
This webinar covers various fundamental aspects of performing a successful digital PCR (dPCR) assay on the QIAcuity instruments. An essential parameter to consider in designing a dPCR assay...
DATE: July 23, 2020 TIME: 10:00am PDT, 1:00pm EDT SARS-CoV-2 virus has impacted billions of lives globally and has spurred many scientists to address some of the biggest questions regarding...
DATE: July 23, 2020 TIME: 10:00 am PDT The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has taken a toll on many sectors of the medical community. As the pandemic took a grip on the laboratory, the need for diagnost...
The fast spread of SARS-Cov-2 sparked much interest in understanding the underlying genomics of this 30,000bp Coronavirus. Thus far, thousands of genome assemblies are available, yet they fe...
The necrobiome is the community of organisms that use or are affected by decomposing organic matter. Decomposing organic matter comes in the form of dead plant matter (biomass) or that of de...
Learning Objectives: 1. What is wrong with healthcare today 2. What kinds of omics and wearables data can be used to best predict disease risk and manage health...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and specifically metagenomics became a...
Despite FDA-approved vaccines and antivirals, seasonal and pandemic influenza remains a serious threat associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The present modalities and vaccine...
