Transcription is the first step in gene expression in which genetic information is copied from a DNA to an RNA format. Transcription is controlled by proteins known as transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes.
The emerging field of RNA nanotechnology has led to the utilization of the platform in the field of bionanotechnology as sensing platforms, diverse nanoparticle construction, in vivo computin...

Asthma is heritable, influenced by the environment, and is modified by in utero exposures and aging; all of these features are also common to epigenetic regulation. Furthermore, genetic varia...
I will present new insights into how multiomics profiling can be used to analyze and provide new insights into two complexes diseases, type 2 diabetes and autism....
I will discuss the use of genomic technologies - mostly ultrahigh-throughput DNA sequencing - to study normal human biology and to determine what goes wrong when we have disease. First I wil...
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and eQTL analyses are producing huge numbers of associations and show no signs of slowing. There are now more than 8,500 SNPs associated with more than...
The Allen Institute for Brain Science provides several brain atlases that are freely available to the public at www.brain-map.org. A common use for these atlases is to study expression patter...
Next-generation sequencing technology allows us to peer inside the cell in exquisite detail, revealing new insights into biology, evolution, and disease that would have been impossible to dis...

The era of omics has ushered in the hope for personalized medicine. Proteomic and genomic strategies that allow unbiased identification of genes and proteins and their post-transcriptional a...
Fusion genes play a central role in many cancer types. They have been used to classify malignancy, risk factors, disease prognosis, and companion diagnostic biomarkers for certain approved dr...
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E is an oncogene elevated in an estimated 30% of cancers. The traditional view is that eIF4E drives proliferation and survival by increasing t...
Master regulatory transcription factors localize to the genome in a manner influenced by chromatin accessibility and influencing global chromatin structure. With an interest in understanding...
Patients with chromosomal rearrangements resulting in fusion proteins are among the most responsive to published targeted therapy. For example, targeting of the EML4-ALK fusion in non-small c...
The use of biomarkers for the stratification of populations for therapy is a concept that holds the potential to revolutionize clinical trial design, the economics of healthcare, and most imp...
In this webinar, we will describe a comprehensive approach for NGS-based marker discovery and the successful migration of these markers to targeted NGS assays using low-quality (FFPE) and low...
The Cas9 endonuclease from the microbial adaptive immune system CRISPR can be easily programmed to bind or cleave specific DNA sequence using a short RNA guide. Cas9 is enabling the generatio...
