We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from ‘telomere-to-telomere’ (T2T)...
The ability of single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) to measure the transcriptional basis of heterogeneity between individual cells is transforming biomedical research. It enables the precise &lsq...
Biological systems are comprised of numerous cell types, intricately organized to form functional tissues and organs. Cell atlas initiatives with single-cell RNA sequencing have begun to cha...
Learning Obejctives: 1. Understand the key requirements for sample preparation in a single cell and/or spatial transcriptomics experiment 2. Learn the synergies between a combined single cel...
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...
Precise diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which often have genetic causes, is a challenging and important problem. Here we describe the results of a recent pilot study using...
Recently, long-read sequencing with high accuracy has become a reality. Previous technologies allowed for the detection of particular classes of genetic variation and/or have focused on pre-...
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...
Stago EdVantage Virtual University is an educational platform that demystifies hemostasis testing with on-demand webinars and a virtual exhibit hall that ......
ASH Anticoagulation Guidelines in Patients with COVID-19: A moving target The American Society of Hematology (ASH) published in February 2021 “Anticoagulation Guidelines in Patients wi...
Date: Apri 19, 2021 Time: 8:00am PDT, 5:00pm CEST Since the inception of modern biological research, BioSafety has evolved into a critical consideration in Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Wi...
When SARS-CoV-2 reached the United States in late January 2020, Labcorp immediately began development of an RT-PCR test to aid in detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 in infected patients. As...
As of March 2021, SARS-CoV-2 has infected 115 million people and caused over 2.56 million deaths. The emergence of mutants associated with changes to transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has shown tha...
This presentation will focus on strategies for the design and validation of robust assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, including nucleic acid extraction, multiplexed qPCR assays, and int...
Several SARS-CoV-2 variants are circulating globally. The most prominent variants of concern, including the B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and B1.1.28 lineages, not only carry a constellation of genetic m...
The COVID19 pandemic continues to be a major epidemiological challenge across the globe. Part of the challenge, often seen with viruses, is that the nucleic acid genome quickly mutates, prod...
Even as COVID-19 vaccines are being deployed around the world, the clinical laboratory will continue to play a major role this year helping to control the pandemic by diagnosing new infectio...
Despite available vaccines and treatments, COVID-19 continues to impose a major burden in the world, as a leading cause of hospitalizations and deaths. We and others have been working in te...
Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and delayed implementation of diagnostics have led to poorly defined viral prevalence rates. To address this, we analyzed seropositivity in US adults who ha...
Date: April 14, 2021 Time: 9:00am PDT Testing solutions for CoV-2 have had to evolve as the pandemic creates challenges and opportunities for various technologies to support the ongoing nee...
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) uses a hybrid modeling approach to generate Covid19 forecasts. The model incorporates elements of statistical and disease transmission...
Two studies on the immunology of COVID-19 are included in this webinar: First, Eugenia Ong, PhD with the Viral Research and Experimental Medicine Centre @ SingHealth Duke-NUS (ViREMiCS) and...
COVID 19 is caused by a new coronavirus , SARS-CoV-2, which is highly infectious and can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms and affect multiple human systems. What we have learned from other...
Developing an in vitro diagnostic device is often a complex and demanding process. Doing so in the midst of a pandemic and the IVD global supply chain stretched like never before, with proje...
Vaccines to prevent COVID-19 were developed within 1 year after the identification of SARS-CoV-2 as the causative virus. There are now 3 vaccines that are FDA approved via Emergency Use Auth...
Over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, key vulnerable populations in the United States and across the world lack access to effective vaccines. IDRI has developed technology that addresses s...
At UC Davis we have implemented rapid, inexpensive, high throughput testing for SARS-Cov-2 using technology repurposed from the agricultural biotechnology sector. As part of Healthy Davis To...
Despite a continuous decline of corona virus cases, the broad rollout of multiple vaccines, and the start of a return to normalcy, concerns of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks continue to linger on the...
