Laboratory Testing: Laboratory tests check a sample of your blood, urine, or body tissues. A technician or your doctor analyzes the test samples to see if your results fall within the normal range. The tests use a range because what is normal differs from person to person. Depending on the test, the presence, absence, or amount of an analyte may mean you do have a particular condition or it may mean that you do not have the particular condition.
The introduction of PacBio HiFi sequence reads, which are both long (up to 25 kb currently) and accurate (>99%) at the individual single-molecule sequence read level, has allowed for adva...
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...
