Data Standards: are the rules by which data are described and recorded. In order to share, exchange, and understand data, we must standardize the format as well as the meaning.
The current standard methodology in forensic DNA typing relies on amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele sizes (i.e., length-bas...
The potential for cognitive bias in forensic evidence interpretation and crime scene investigation continues to receive attention and debate within forensic and academic communities. Startin...
Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are long-standing antimalarial drugs recently brought into the spotlight as potential treatments for the pandemic-causing coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Notable...

Complex genomes, including the human genome, contain ‘dark’ regions that standard short-read sequencing technologies do not adequately resolve—overlooking many variants tha...
The introduction of improved, more cost efficient target capture technologies has accelerated the adoption of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in clinical diagnostics. The ability to provide mor...
Within the clinical arena, the oncology community has led the way in the early adoption of next generation sequencing. NGS is in widespread use in clinical cancer research and is now beginni...
The versatility of standard PCR and qPCR is well known. Digital PCR is now taking this to a whole new level. The power of partitioning enables you to explore new frontiers which have been li...
Long-read DNA sequencing technologies such as the Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) platforms, have demonstrated enhanced detection of genomic variation, including Singl...
Genetically-modified cell therapies are revolutionizing medicine, offering new opportunities to treat cancer patients and potentially many other diseases. The process of producing gene-modif...
The NIST Biomanufacturing Program develops measurement science, standards, reference data and tools to support the development, manufacturing, and regulatory approval of biologic medicines....
Learning Objectives: 1. Introduce the audience to a general overview of bacterial and fungal contamination 2. Identify areas in the growing and manufacturing industries to monitor for bacter...
In today’s busy Cannabis laboratory environment, users are faced with increasing laboratory analysis and management challenges, regulatory pressures, evolving customer needs and demand...
Learning Objectives: 1. The main focus will be on the actual steps of the post harvest process with the key monitoring points that impact flower quality. 2. The secondary takeaway would be t...
Here we present a case study on the combined use of cannabis, psilocybin, and conventional oncology treatments which induced remission in a stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient. A 49-ye...
Given that the hemp industry in the United States is still nascent, certified seed offers American farmers a way to minimize the risk of growing hemp. For hemp, certification carries additio...
In the post prohibition era, a vacuum of regulations, standards, and best practices is quickly being filled. Learn how those who truly care about the cannabis industry are acting through exi...
