Viral genomics uses advanced analytical technologies to study the biology of disease-causing viruses at a genetic level. The aim of viral genomics is to better understand how viruses interact with their hosts and how infections spread through communities. This enables drug and vaccine development efforts as well as informing public health policies.

Date: April 28, 2021 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT) The varied clinical manifestations and outcomes in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections implicate a role of host-genetics in the predisp...
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are a reliable, sensitive, and accurate diagnostic approach used in viral detection. The approach involves the isolation of nucleic acids from a sampl...
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...
As viral threats continue to emerge, viral detection assays are important not only for recognizing if a virus is present, but also for surveillance and variant characterization. Accurate det...
Interest in cell and gene therapy-based disease prevention and treatment has increased rapidly over the last few decades, however there are still many hurdles to overcome and further progres...
COVID-19 is a severe disease that has caused >1 million deaths in under one year. As this disease is novel, the molecular and cellular underpinnings of the progressive tissue injury are p...
NanoCellect will discuss the importance of cell sample preparation in order to obtain good quality sequencing data with 3’ RNA-Seq as well as cell sample preparation in order to obtain...
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility (e.g., lineage B.1.1.7), and which appear to...
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...
Dr. Jordan RoseFigura from Swift Biosciences will present on the technology created to enable this research that covers 99.7 % of the SARS-CoV-2 genome from limited viral titers. Including a...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The global pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by Severe Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has highlighted the importance of surveillance efforts to closel...
In this fireside chat, we’ll discuss how gene editing protocols can benefit from long-read sequencing at various stages to optimize and enhance vector integrity, which cannot be addres...
