The Genome in a Bottle Consortium has published benchmarks for variant calling, but some challenging medically-relevant genes have been partially or fully excluded due to mapping challenges,...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene that reduce survival motor neuron (SMN) protein expression. Despite progress in the...
The last 20 years have seen an explosion of genetic information and data. New technological advances have made it faster and less expensive to understand the human genomes but most of those...
My laboratory uses tools from pharmacology, genomics, and cell signaling to study two key aspects of cancer biology. First, we seek to understand how oncogenic signals, altered metabolic sta...
The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread all over the world and raised global concerns. Rapid and early detection of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the ca...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the conceptual limitations of the term, "population" as applied to human genomics. 2. Explain the main difference(s) between "race", "...
Long-read sequencing was declared the method of the year for 2022 and, indeed, has fully arrived on the computational biology scene. Specifically, Oxford Nanopore Sequencing technology has e...
Genomics has had rapid implementation over the past decade, with recent growth in application in oncology, mental health, maternal fetal medicine, solid organ transplantation, and more. Much...
Many oncology patients do not receive the most effective targeted treatments because of challenges associated with implementation of a personalized medicine approach. Despite a lengthy histo...
Historically, nasopharyngeal sampling has been considered the gold standard for the detection of most upper respiratory tract infections, however major medical and laboratory supply chain is...
The current version of the human reference genome, GRCh38, contains a number of errors including 1.2 Mbp of falsely duplicated and 8.04 Mbp of collapsed regions. These errors impact the vari...
Experience the Revolution of DNA Polymerase Technology: Choosing the Best DNA Polymerase for Efficient PCR Workflows. PCR has revolutionized modern molecular biology, but its success would n...
Rapid, accurate, and wide-spread COVID-19 testing is essential for contact tracing, timely triaging of patients, and viral monitoring. The current gold standard for COVID-19 testing is RT-PC...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs with an average size of 22 nucleotides that regulate gene expression through various mechanisms. During the last decade, researchers have identified over 26...
Do you have targets that are difficult to genotype? Are you starting new projects and looking for a fast convenient genotyping solution?Whether screening CRISPR clones, exploring pharmaco...
The advent of CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated) makes it feasible to target/edit the genome with precision. Most of the CRSIPR-Cas syst...
Accurate prediction of anticancer drug efficacy on each patient’s cancer before the initiation of therapy has the potential to significantly reduce the treatment burden and enhance cli...
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) uses a stand-displacing DNA polymerase and four to six primers to rapidly amplify DNA at a single temperature. By eliminating temperature cyclin...
With the health economic benefits of genetic testing clear, testing is becoming more accessible, which means constantly increasing throughput requirements for already stretched genomics......
Traditional methods for pathogen detection are often expensive and time-consuming and requires a well-equipped laboratory. Here we present a low-cost, deployable paper-based biosensor device...
