The CRISPR revolution has begun and shows no signs of slowing down. CRISPR-Cas nuclease-based genome editing strategies hold great promise for the treatment of genetic disorders. However, a...
Recent improvements in sequencing chemistry and instrument performance combine to create a new PacBio data type of highly accurate (HiFi), long insert reads. Increased read length and improve...
In 2014, the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN), which is funded by the NIH, was established as a network of seven clinical sites, two sequencing cores, and a coordinating center. Later, a ce...
Genomic information has the potential to improve management or potentially prevent or enable early intervention of virtually every disease. However, despite massive technological leaps and ex...
In this presentation Dr. Kevin Halling describes the use of RNA-seq testing for identifying clinically significant gene fusions in tumors that can be used to help establish diagnosis and gui...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) oncology panels are becoming integral in hospital and academic settings to guide patient treatment and enrollment in clinical trials. But as NGS is increasin...
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the major staple food crops grown in over 140 countries in the subtropics and tropics with annual global production of around 148 million metric, feeding about 50...
The Genome in a Bottle Consortium (GIAB) has characterized an Ashkenazi trio from the Personal Genome Project (NIST Reference Material 8392) with 12 short, long, and linked read sequencing an...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognosis with frequent relapses and deaths using current standard of care treatments. Metabolic reprograming is now recognized as a fundam...
Genome engineers can leverage an ever-expanding array of biological and computational tools to make targeted genetic changes. Maintaining and optimizing components ranging from reagent desig...
(Adapted from a DPYD verification document written by Hannah Stevens, Trainee Clinical Scientist) 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and capecitabine are fluoropyrimidine chemotherapies that are used to...
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, coupled with sequencing, has shaped our understanding of how transcriptional machinery interacts with genomes to facilitate gene regulation. These protein-DNA...
Much has been said about the promise of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to revolutionise diagnosis of rare diseases, and there are many examples of success in this arena. However, the majori...
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become very popular in the last 5 years and has profoundly changed our way to do genetically engineered animals. I will present the latest development in genome edi...
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) RNA and CRISPR-associated genes (Cas) assemble into RNA-guided surveillance complex that targets foreign nucleic acids for d...
An ideal microbiome profiling method would produce strain level taxonomic classification of organisms and their relative quantities. We demonstrate proof of principle experiments that sequenc...
As genomics plays an ever expanding role in healthcare and research, educational programs focused on applied genomics have not kept pace with the demand for trained students. In this talk, w...
In this webinar, we will be discussing some of our most recent testing using our Cas9 proteins, Cas9 RNP nickases in a variety of human cell types, including primary T-cells. Cas nucleases wh...
CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing is a powerful tool which can induce heritable mutations at desired genomic loci without leaving transgenic trace in plants. Here we constructed a robust, multip...
The arrangement of chromatin inside the nucleus has long been recognized as a key element in genomic stability and an active participant in transcriptional control. With the development and d...
Since the introduction of single cell sequencing techniques to the genomics community, interest in its use has grown exponentially and the number of single cell publications has exploded. Th...
In 2013, a separate diagnosis of PTSD was introduced into the DSM-V to mitigate the well-known issue of accurately differentiating between PSTD and other psychiatric disorders. In addition t...
In recent years Nanotherapeutics has revolutionized the healthcare strategies and envisioned to have a tremendous impact to offer better health facilities. It involves design, fabrication, r...
To interpret genome sequence from telomere to telomere, it is helpful end-to-end haplotypes with single-molecule epigenetics overlays, via in situ omics at sub-cellular (20 nm) resolution an...
Release of the first human genome assembly was a landmark achievement, and after nearly two decades of improvements, the current human reference genome (GRCh38) is the most accurate and compl...
In this presentation I will describe our latest work to obtain comprehensive genomes leveraging long and linked reads. The vast majority of NGS whole-genome data covers hundreds of thousands...
Short-read sequencing has found wide-spread use in metagenomics but the short read lengths and bias with regard to sequence composition have translated to limitations of the study of complex...
