Sex differences play an important role in development and progression of many diseases, and understanding how a disease differs between the sexes is essential for the advancement of preventi...
Many diseases show sex differences in incidence or progression, suggesting that one sex has inherent biological factors that protect from or exacerbate disease. Historically the root causes...
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are a reliable, sensitive, and accurate diagnostic approach used in viral detection. The approach involves the isolation of nucleic acids from a sampl...
Screening to identify all known viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, fungus and parasites in human tumor tissues will provide a more comprehensive understanding of...
Insects are the largest and most diverse arthropod group. Many insect species are agricultural pests or vectors of numerous diseases. In fact, the mosquito is the deadliest animal on the eart...
SMRT Sequencing is a DNA sequencing technology characterized by long read lengths and high consensus accuracy, regardless of the sequence complexity or GC content of the DNA sample. These cha...
