Genomic analysis is the identification, measurment, and/or comparison of genomic features (like DNA sequences) on a genomic (i.e., the study of all of a person's genes) scale.
Genomic imbalances or copy number variations (CNVs) are a major cause of pregnancy losses, fetal anomalies identified during prenatal period, congenital defects in newborn, dysmorphology and...
Genetic diseases are known occur due to various types of mutations in the human genome. The molecular assays to diagnose these diseases have been developed based on the type of mutation comm...
Most bladder cancer (BC) cases are non-muscle-invasive BC (NIBMC), which is rarely lethal. However, nearly one-fifth of NMIBC cases progress to muscle-invasive BC (MIBC), which shows a 5-yea...
The study of human development and diseases relies on analysis of samples obtained and manipulated ex vivo. It is critical in such studies to know the provenance and confirm that the identit...

The fast spread of SARS-Cov-2 sparked much interest in understanding the underlying genomics of this 30,000bp Coronavirus. Thus far, thousands of genome assemblies are available, yet they fe...
Understanding the complex interplay between a pathogen and the host response is important to developing effective vaccines and therapeutics. The nCounter® Analysis System and GeoMx®...
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...
