Gene signatures describe specific, unique characteristics of a group of genes located in a biological cell or tissue. Gene signatures can be used to diagnose diseases, including cancer. Additionally, understanding gene signatures can inform on the prognosis of disease or determine optimal treatment planning.
As the vast landscape of genetic oncology continues to expand, the ability to understand and utilize the full potential of this rich data becomes increasingly challenging. As a result, resea...
In this talk we will explore the application of Multiplexed Error-Robust Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (MERFISH) technology to decode spatially regulated disease drivers in human heart...
Dynamic changes in chromatin drive gene expression programs during cellular development and contribute to pathological changes underlying disease. To date, efforts to characterize chromatin...
