RNA, short for Ribonucleic Acid, is a molecule found in the human body that is able to form polymers and secondary structures, and can be used for various activities including decoding DNA and transferring the information to the Ribosome (tRNA), incorporation into the Ribosome (rRNA), as well as many regulatory activities concerning the expression of genes.

Both cell free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTC) represent important possible templates for mutation analysis of clinical samples. Each template has different theoretical advantag...
Cancer research is being revolutionized by targeted gene panels, whole exome sequencing (WES), whole genome sequencing (WGS), and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq).Many analyses, such as...
Circulating miRNAs have great potential as biomarkers due to their aberrant expression in cancer and other diseases. However, miRNAs from body fluids are hard to obtain in amounts sufficient...
As next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms advance in their speed, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness, many translational researchers are transitioning from microarrays to RNA sequencing...
The RNA-guided nuclease Cas9 from the microbial CRISPR adaptive immune system has emerged as an exciting tool for precise genome editing in eukaryotic cells. This presentation will discuss th...
