DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix.
The 2020 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to rage. While PCR-based assays are used for viral diagnosis, high through-put, rapid s...
With more than 6 million infections and more than 300,000 deaths (as of end of May 2020), the current COVID-19 pandemic has led to large scale lockdown around the world to prevent further sp...
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the development of diagnostics for both the virus (molecular) and the host immune response (serological) has become essential for monitoring the...

NCI estimates that cancer will be the leading cause of death in 2030, worldwide. Checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive cell therapies (ACTs) cost up to ~$2 million/patient and have shown durabl...
The basic units of biological structure and function are cells, which exhibit wide variation in regard to both type and state. We assess such variation by simultaneously profiling the transc...
