Genetic testing currently plays a relatively niche role in healthcare, with testing typically limited to single genes and targeting a relatively narrow range of diseases, including paediatric...
When studying the transcriptome, most of our inferences revolve around changes in average expression. However, more recent examples have demonstrated that analysis of the variability of gene...
Our understanding of how genotype controls phenotype is limited by the scale at which we can precisely alter the genome and assess the phenotypic consequences of each perturbation. In this pr...
In this seminar, I will discuss issues in transcriptome analysis. I will first talk about core aspects - how we analyze the activity patterns of genes in model organisms and humans. I will fo...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease that accounts for 10-20% of all breast cancer cases diagnosed annually in the U.S.1. Despite its prevalence, TNBC remains resist...
Speculations that some form DNA alteration might be utilized by the brain date to the 1960s [1] wherein hypotheses for genomic alterations of germline DNA were proposed for immunoglobulins an...
Single-cell RNA sequencing has emerged as an important technology that can reveal gene expression differences between different cell types. This webinar will demonstrate how bioinformatics s...
Objective : Evaluation of EDTA-gel blood collection tubes from remote locations for NIPS (Non-invasive prenatal testing). Design: Paired comparisons Population: 61 pregnant women from Britis...
There is increasing evidence that intracellular miRNAs play a role in the pathogenesis of many complex disease phenotypes. In addition, extracellular miRNAs in exosomes are emerging as...
Estrogen metabolism is the ability to favorably excrete potentially toxic estrogens through urine and sweat. Impaired estrogen metabolism is associated with Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovar...
In this webinar, we will discuss our most recent additions to our CRISPR protein portfolio, the GFP-SpCas9 and GFP-eCas9 fusion proteins. The two GFP-Cas9 fusion proteins offer great visualiz...
Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) emerged to characterize gene expression differences between individual cells, allowing a higher resolution look at mRNA abundance than bulk RNA- seq. H...
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) uses a stand-displacing DNA polymerase and four to six primers to rapidly amplify DNA at a single temperature. By eliminating temperature cyclin...
The advent of precision medicine largely depends on the creation of precise and accurate predictive tools. While most late-onset diseases are moderately to highly heritable, using genetic inf...
Cell line screening studies require highly efficient protocols for studying many samples in parallel. We have developed a lyse-and-go protocol for digital gene expression profiling of u...
The realization of the promise of personalized molecular medicine requires efficient development and implementation of novel targeted therapeutics linked to molecular markers able to identify...
Genetic drivers of cancer can be dysregulated through epigenetic modifications of DNA. Although the critical role of DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in the regulation of transcription is recognize...
Characterizing cellular hierarchy has profound implications in development and diseases. Single-cell technologies have great potential in discovering new cell types and lineage relationships,...
Modern biomedical research is being driven by large scale genetic and proteomic research to identify new targets for the study of disease mechanisms. While these techniques have been incredi...
The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear...
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. The purification of plasmid DNA (pDNA) is essential in molecular biology research. Over the years, plasmid DNA isolation technolo...
Genetic disease is the leading cause of death for infants in the intensive care units. Traditional testing is too slow to provide physicians a timely diagnosis to help guide the management of...
To provide insight on the utility and practicality of implementing a pharmacist-driven pharmacogenomics program in a community pharmacy or primary care setting and to provide a clinical updat...
Nucleotide variation in gene regulatory elements is a major cause of human disease. Despite continual progress in the cataloging of these elements, little is known about the code and grammati...
Long read Structural Variation calling remains a challenging but highly accurate way to identify complex genomic alterations. To address this challenge, we developed Sniffles2, a successor t...
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...
