Biology: the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution. This includes plants, animals, and other qualities of organisms or class of organisms.
Learning Objectives: 1. Identify different kinds of genomic resources 2. Learn to apply the features available in genomic resources to cancer variant interpretation 3. Describe the importanc...
Advanced cancer patients, individuals that have a <50% chance of 5 year-survival and have exhausted standard of care options, are often seeking for innovative therapies. These drugs may b...
Directed evolution is an effective strategy to optimize the properties of proteins for specific requirements, either for industrial, therapeutics or research applications. As the theoretical...
Detection and/or amplification of target DNA sequences by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a prevalent method in molecular biology. PCR has a broad range of applications, including use in...
Date: April 21, 2021 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT) Serological testing for SARS-CoV-2 has been steadily adopted into clinical practice over the course of this pandemic. In this webinar,...
Single-cell gene expression analysis helps biologists and bioinformaticians reveal complex and rare cell populations, uncover regulatory relationships among genes and analyze and visualize g...
As part of Healthy Davis Together, we have implemented rapid, inexpensive, high throughput testing for SARS-Cov-2 using technology repurposed from the agricultural biotechnology sector. This...
As viral threats continue to emerge, viral detection assays are important not only for recognizing if a virus is present, but also for surveillance and variant characterization. Accurate det...
As the SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread and evolve and vaccination efforts are under way, countries around the world are confronting new public health challenges due to the emergence and rapid...
Interest in cell and gene therapy-based disease prevention and treatment has increased rapidly over the last few decades, however there are still many hurdles to overcome and further progres...
Bridging a deep understanding of molecular profiles with clinical information is critical to developing innovative precision medicine tools in oncology. Discovery’s recently launched S...
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...
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, coupled with sequencing, has shaped our understanding of how transcriptional machinery interacts with genomes to facilitate gene regulation. These protein-DNA...
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility (e.g., lineage B.1.1.7), and which appear to...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is best characterized as brain dysfunction caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head, often occurring as a result of a severe sports injury...
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...
In mammals, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression by serving as a maintainable mark whose absence marks promoters and enhancers. Recent epidemiological studies...
Biological systems are comprised of numerous cell types, intricately organized to form functional tissues and organs. Cell atlas initiatives with single-cell RNA sequencing have begun to cha...
We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from ‘telomere-to-telomere’ (T2T)...
Telomere length (TL) is widely considered a molecular/cellular hallmark of the aging process with implications for multiple diseases. While there has been success in epidemiology and genomew...
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...
Date: Apri 19, 2021 Time: 8:00am PDT, 5:00pm CEST Since the inception of modern biological research, BioSafety has evolved into a critical consideration in Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Wi...
