Disease: is a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms that is not simply a direct result of physical injury.
Treatments for respiratory diseases represent an enormous, unmet medical need with limited therapies currently approved for use. Despite many compounds demonstrating beneficial effects in ani...

Many research laboratories use the ExpiCHO Expression System to transiently produce candidate biomolecules for biologics development. However, after the lead candidate is found, a stable cell...
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...
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...
Structural variants (SVs), defined as rearrangements of genomic sequences, are both a major source of genetic diversity in human populations and are also directly responsible for the pathogen...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognosis with frequent relapses and deaths using current standard of care treatments. Metabolic reprograming is now recognized as a fundam...
The All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health. By taking into accoun...
We introduce a differential abundance analysis method for the analysis of sparse high-throughput data from large-scale surveys of marker genes for microbial communities. Our approach relies o...
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...
