Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the major staple food crops grown in over 140 countries in the subtropics and tropics with annual global production of around 148 million metric, feeding about 50...
CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing is a powerful tool which can induce heritable mutations at desired genomic loci without leaving transgenic trace in plants. Here we constructed a robust, multip...
First discovered as a genome-editing tool just seven years ago, CRISPR systems have already changed the face of basic research, allowing researchers to alter the DNA of hundreds of organisms...

Early detection is critical for improved survival in melanoma. Melanocytic nevi are extremely common benign tumors that mimic melanoma and are therefore commonly biopsied. Currently, the dete...
DATE: September 17, 2019TIME: 9:00am PTSpatial Transcriptomics (ST) technology reveals gene expression from up to one thousand spots across a tissue section. In this webinar, Dr. H...
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria and resistance mechanisms pose a serious challenge to laboratories in both hospital clinical microbiology and public health...
Background: The vast majority of all genes are contained within the genomes of the prokaryotes, including the eubacteria and the archaea. These largely single-cellular domains of life thus...
Learning objectives:1. Metagenomic analysis is already complex, and complicated further by incomplete and non-standardized databases of known organisms2. Fungi may have their own 'mic...
Tumor heterogeneity is a hallmark of cancer and can have significant impact on identifying drivers, including those that may be therapeutically relevant. Although, the traditional sequencing...
In this presentation, Dr. Kothari will provide an overview of the Precision Medicine Initiative from NIH and how NGS technologies have helped the researchers to look deep inside the human tra...
Recent advances in genomic technologies have revealed enormous complexities and uniqueness of human physiology. Although enormous efforts are being made to apply this knowledge to enhance the...
Most cancer therapies have highly variable activity from one patient to another, with only a fraction of patients’ cancers responding to a given treatment. In many types of cancer, comb...
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...
DATE: June 19, 2019TIME: 8:00am PDT, 11:00am EDT Approximately 80% of all cancers are known to be affected by both somatic mutations and copy number changes. Furthermore, r...
In 2014, the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN), which is funded by the NIH, was established as a network of seven clinical sites, two sequencing cores, and a coordinating center. Later, a ce...
Genetic drivers of cancer can be dysregulated through epigenetic modifications of DNA. Although the critical role of DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in the regulation of transcription is recognize...
Tuberculosis has killed more than one billion people in the last 200 years. It is the oldest and the deadliest human pathogen, recently surpassing HIV. Its adaptation to host and drug pressur...
