Performance. Automation. Convenience. Versatility. Those three elements exemplify the Miltenyi Biotec family of flow cytometers. Designed to support the field of flow cytometry, the MACSQuan...
The human genome encodes 25,000 genes. But the biological complexity inherent in polygenic traits is a clear sign that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Genes, gene products, a...
Structural variants (SVs), defined as rearrangements of genomic sequences, are both a major source of genetic diversity in human populations and are also directly responsible for the pathogen...
Learning Objectives: 1. Identify different kinds of genomic resources 2. Learn to apply the features available in genomic resources to cancer variant interpretation 3. Describe the importanc...
Pathogen detection and surveillance have become a high priority in both healthcare and environmental settings for the safety of patients and the general public. The COVID-19 pandemic highlig...
Microbial communities include distinct lineages of closely related organisms which have proved challenging to separate in metagenomic assembly. Challenges include the existence of highly rel...
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...
Graphene-based Biology-gated Transistors (Cardean Transistors) directly read molecular signals of active biology using advanced electronics. This proprietary tech breakthrough can be used as...
This session provides an overview of how the applications for infectious disease and microbiology on the MISeq i100 Series can support genomic surveillance for managing disease outbreaks, co...
One of the central tenants of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Infectious gastroenteritis is a disease caused by bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens in which the small and/or large intestines become severely inflamed. Because infectious gastroenter...
As the SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread and evolve and vaccination efforts are under way, countries around the world are confronting new public health challenges due to the emergence and rapid...
The Type 2 Diabetes Knowledge Portal is an open-access resource for human genetic information on type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is a central repository for data from large genomic studies that ide...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
Over the past ten years, CRISPR technology has revolutionized genome engineering, as reflected by the recently awarded Nobel Prize. Nevertheless, the process of performing and characterizing...
Learning Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the utility of long-read RNA-sequencing in studying alternative isoforms 2. Define the long-Split-seq approach to profiling the transcriptomes of single-c...
Background: Pathologists have long recognized that the interaction between immune and tumour cells is critical in the development and progression of breast cancer. Studies have demonstrated...
While CRISPR-Cas9 has dominated the science headlines in recent years, there has been a broad social and moral consensus that it is too soon to move to clinical use of genome editing in human...
A plethora of methods and tools have been developed to identify genes differentially expressed between two compared conditions, such as "diseased versus healthy". For many scientist...
This session provides an introduction to the MiSeq i100 Series, the simplest, fastest benchtop sequencer. Giving a brief overview of the revolutionary technology that's been built into the n...
Advanced cancer patients, individuals that have a <50% chance of 5 year-survival and have exhausted standard of care options, are often seeking for innovative therapies. These drugs may b...
Within the clinical arena, the oncology community has led the way in the early adoption of next generation sequencing. NGS is in widespread use in clinical cancer research and is now beginni...
Achieving a diagnosis in rare disease patients can be challenging for even the most experienced clinician or scientist, creating a barrier to delivering truly personalised care. An exome seq...
In this presentation I will describe results from a family study designed to identify the genetic cause for familial clustering of several early onset cancers. Data from next generatio...
Pharmacogenomics has had rapid implementation over the past decade, with recent growth in application in oncology, mental health, solid organ transplantation, and more. There has been much f...
The personalized treatment of each cancer patient with targeted therapies selected based on our understanding of the molecular biology of cancer has been the long-standing goal of......
Sex and gender differences are apparent in health and disease and aduring aging. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death with pronounced sex and gender differences...
