Molecular Genetics: is the field of biology that studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, simultaneously using both molecular biology and genetics. This typically refers to the laboratory techniques used to identify or manipulate DNA segments that are involved in synthesis of important biological molecules.
Developing an in vitro diagnostic device is often a complex and demanding process. Doing so in the midst of a pandemic and the IVD global supply chain stretched like never before, with proje...
This presentation will focus on strategies for the design and validation of robust assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, including nucleic acid extraction, multiplexed qPCR assays, and int...
Several SARS-CoV-2 variants are circulating globally. The most prominent variants of concern, including the B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and B1.1.28 lineages, not only carry a constellation of genetic m...
When SARS-CoV-2 reached the United States in late January 2020, Labcorp immediately began development of an RT-PCR test to aid in detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 in infected patients. As...
Telomere length (TL) is widely considered a molecular/cellular hallmark of the aging process with implications for multiple diseases. While there has been success in epidemiology and genomew...
Precise diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which often have genetic causes, is a challenging and important problem. Here we describe the results of a recent pilot study using...
NGS Bioinformatics software has come of age. Our workflows need software solutions that don’t only carry out the correct calculations to give the correct results reliably and unambiguo...
According to the American Cancer Society, in there were an estimated 110,070 new cases diagnosed and approximately 32,120 deaths from gynecologic cancers in the U.S. in 2018. Of the five mos...
As viral threats continue to emerge, viral detection assays are important not only for recognizing if a virus is present, but also for surveillance and variant characterization. Accurate det...
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is challenging our health care systems and has profoundly impacted our society. Due to the poor global public health response, SARS-CoV-2 has developed many variants....
