When the human genome was sequenced almost 15 years ago, it was a milestone for the understanding of an individual’s genome. However to fully understand a disease, millions of ind...
With prospective clinical sequencing of tumors emerging as a mainstay in cancer care, there is an urgent need for clinical support tools that aid clinicians in their decision making. To this...
Precision medicine based on molecular profiling is moving from the realm of clinical utility studies towards standard of care. There remain, however, significant technological and implementat...
Precision medicine and next-generation sequencing – Two terms characterized by a highly dynamic nature, strong innovations and a bright future. Both merged together will exert a decisiv...
DATE: June 5, 2018TIME: 06:30AM PDT, 3:30PM CEST Viscous liquids are a challenge in every lab that deals with them. Depending on how viscous a liquid is, pipetting is either...
DATE: May 22, 2018TIME: 08:00AM PDT The nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) are closely related transcription factors that...
As the costs of genomic analysis decline it becomes possible to offer widescale population genomic analysis to screen for genetic disorders. The Alabama Genomic Health Initiative was es...
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...
Gene expression studies give a snapshot of the different types of RNAs being expressed at a given time point in cells or tissues in vivo. Different RNA types have different roles, for example...
The arrangement of chromatin inside the nucleus has long been recognized as a key element in genomic stability and an active participant in transcriptional control. With the development and d...
Genomic information has the potential to improve management or potentially prevent or enable early intervention of virtually every disease. However, despite massive technological leaps and ex...

In genomics, as in life, you need to be in the right place at the right time, and you need integrity, to be credible. Since the availability of the human genome sequence, there's been an...
The Whiteson lab uses culture-independent metagenomics, metabolomics, and ecological statistics along with hypothesis driven, reductionist microbiology to answer questions about how bacteria...
This presentation illustrates the features of QIAGEN sample to insight approach, and how it combines a powerful chemistry based on unique molecular indexes (UMIs) and a UMI-aware bioinformati...
Ready or not, direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is here and it is here to stay. As technologies continue to make genetic testing more affordable and accessible to the masses, more indi...
Screening for Down syndrome began with the question "How old will you be when you deliver?". If the pregnant woman answered 35 years of age or older, she was offered amniocent...
On March 16, 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a National Coverage Determination (NCD) for the use of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for tumor profiling i...
Genomic profiling in various cancers has become standard of care today. Dr. Chandra will discuss the challenges and opportunities of precision oncology testing in community practice and...
Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a promising anti-epileptic drug in otherwise treatment-resistant genetic epileptic disorders. However, the clinical trials have been limited by their use of C...
In today’s modern laboratory, resources are often stretched as laboratories struggle to manage multiple priorities, meet regulatory requirements, and contain costs. This is especially t...
During this session, I will discuss a simple yet often underappreciated method for improving operational efficiency when growing cannabis in controlled environments. In particular,...
