At the global level, mobility is above pre-COVID levels, and mask use is at the lowest level since mid-March 2020. The move away from social distancing combined with the spread of the BA.5 O...
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) are an ancient class of receptors that represent some of the largest transmembrane-integrated proteins in humans. Besides classic features of GP...
One of the main challenges in cancer immunotherapy is the resistance to I-O therapies. Primary resistance can occur before treatment and acquired resistance can occur in patients who respond...
The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear...
The opioid crisis has put significant strain on the healthcare system and resources, including the clinical laboratory which has seen significant increases in requests for urine drug screeni...
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the development of diagnostics for both the virus (molecular) and the host immune response (serological) has become essential for monitoring the...
In this time of incredible promise for genomic medicine, the Genomes2People (G2P) Research Program in Translational Genomics and Health Outcomes, directed by Robert C. Green, MD, MPH, is crea...
The incidence of conditions such as diabetes, obesity, asthma, and cancer have increased substantially in the past 30 years. The human genome has not changed in that period of time, so the en...
In this study, we evaluated the concordance of targeted sequencing results between paired ctDNA and tumor samples from early breast cancers scheduled for curative surgery with or without adj...
The circulating T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is a dynamic representation of overall immune responses in an individual. Here we aimed to correlate pre-treatment circulating TCR repertoire...
Analytical Method Validation work is based on a variety of guidelines and requirements hence being time-consuming and stressful. Reducing this work and improving efficiency while ensuring th...
