Health: as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, as it may have limited value for implementation. Health may be defined as the ability to adapt and manage physical, mental and social challenges throughout life.
Karyomapping, a technique for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of single gene disorders, involves using very few or single cells, and comes with challenges due to limited amounts of s...
Modern biomedical research is being driven by large scale genetic and proteomic research to identify new targets for the study of disease mechanisms. While these techniques have been incredi...
The versatility of standard PCR and qPCR is well known. Digital PCR is now taking this to a whole new level. The power of partitioning enables you to explore new frontiers which have been li...
Long-read DNA sequencing technologies such as the Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) platforms, have demonstrated enhanced detection of genomic variation, including Singl...
Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) emerged to characterize gene expression differences between individual cells, allowing a higher resolution look at mRNA abundance than bulk RNA- seq. H...
Structural variation within plant genomes has fueled domestication and selection of traits critical for modern breeding of crop plants. Nevertheless, dissecting the diversity of structural v...
Learning Objectives: 1. Learn why the complexity and repetitive structure of the human genome makes it impossible to detect all structural variants using short-read sequencing 2. Learn how h...
Since the introduction of single cell sequencing techniques to the genomics community, interest in its use has grown exponentially and the number of single cell publications has exploded. Th...
