With over 200 validated antibodies and the option to add custom antibodies, the GeoMx DSP protein portfolio offers options to fit a wide range of spatial profiling application needs. NanoStr...
Microbial biofilms form on all aquatic surfaces and can harbor pathogenic bacteria. In the aquaculture industry, Flavobacteria species can cause serious diseases and lead to high mortality....
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...
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...
Image analysis in a real-world situation rarely involves solving a single unchanging problem. Modern tools need to be flexible and adaptable not only to solve todays problems but to support...
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...
The global pandemic has increased focus and scrutiny on molecular diagnostic assay development, resulting in a need for assays that provide quick results while delivering expected performanc...
Cancer disparities among persons of African descent are driven by both biological and nonbiological factors. There is evidence in breast cancer that psychosocial factors (environment, socioe...
Learning Objectives: 1. Using an optics- and label-free approach to CRISPR research 2. Explain current approaches to selecting the most robust gRNA for CRISPR assays 3. The opportunities tha...
Implementing precision genomic medicine in the pediatric acute care setting has several challenges. First, the diagnosis must be made quickly. Second, the determination of pathogenicity mus...
Recent advances in high-throughput single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics methods allow to measure the expression of thousands of genes and identify the gene transcriptional regulation...
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...
Virtually all tumors are genetically heterogeneous, containing subclonal populations of cells that are defined by distinct mutations. Subclones can have unique phenotypes that influence disea...
The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis is based on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Recent studies suggest limitations of RT-qPC...
Recent advances in machine learning have shown that deep neural networks (DNNs) can provide powerful and flexible models of neural sensory processing. In the auditory system, standard linear...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the methods used to diagnose COVID-19. 2. Define the preventive approaches to COVID-19. 3. Discuss the treatment strategies for COVID-19....
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the functionality and digestibility of starches at high heating temperatures as measured jointly by RVA 4800 and DSC 2. Acquire new knowledge on the behavi...
The host antiviral innate immune response involves activation of multiple signaling pathways that result in the production of type I interferons (IFN-I) and inflammatory cytokines, which tog...
Stimulants are the drivers of the fourth wave of the US drug overdose epidemic. Although most national attention and resources have been targeted at combating opioid use due to the surge of...
As a response to various inflammatory stimuli, neutrophils and macrophages expel a mixture of their nuclear and granular elements in the form of extracellular traps (ETs). These web-like sub...
An extensively debated concern about CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing is that unspecific guide RNA (gRNA) binding may induce off-target mutations. However, accurate prediction of CRISPR-Cas9 off-t...
By examining the host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection we gain valuable insights into viral pathogenesis and COVID-19 progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small (18-22nt), non-coding...
