Research: comprises "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications."
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is challenging our health care systems and has profoundly impacted our society. Due to the poor global public health response, SARS-CoV-2 has developed many variants....
NGS Bioinformatics software has come of age. Our workflows need software solutions that don’t only carry out the correct calculations to give the correct results reliably and unambiguo...
As part of Healthy Davis Together, we have implemented rapid, inexpensive, high throughput testing for SARS-Cov-2 using technology repurposed from the agricultural biotechnology sector. This...
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...
According to the American Cancer Society, in there were an estimated 110,070 new cases diagnosed and approximately 32,120 deaths from gynecologic cancers in the U.S. in 2018. Of the five mos...
A One-Step RT-qPCR assay based on the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel has been developed which can effectively detect SARS-CoV-2 particles from saliv...
Historically, nasopharyngeal sampling has been considered the gold standard for the detection of most upper respiratory tract infections, however major medical and laboratory supply chain is...
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...
Revolutionary sequencing technologies are enabling whole transcriptome profiling of tens to hundreds of thousands of single cells in parallel, in a single experiment. This has led to an expl...
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...
Date: April 20, 2021 Time: 11:00am (PST), 2:00pm (EST) Identification and confirmation of microbial isolates is crucial in the analysis workflow, providing decision-makers the information...
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, coupled with sequencing, has shaped our understanding of how transcriptional machinery interacts with genomes to facilitate gene regulation. These protein-DNA...

Structural variants (SVs) are essential in human evolution and genetic disease but remain understudied. This is especially the case for non-Caucasian ethnicities. We report, for the first ti...
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...
Learning Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the utility of long-read RNA-sequencing in studying alternative isoforms 2. Define the long-Split-seq approach to profiling the transcriptomes of single-c...
Precise diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which often have genetic causes, is a challenging and important problem. Here we describe the results of a recent pilot study using...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is best characterized as brain dysfunction caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head, often occurring as a result of a severe sports injury...
The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear...
In mammals, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression by serving as a maintainable mark whose absence marks promoters and enhancers. Recent epidemiological studies...
Many diseases show sex differences in incidence or progression, suggesting that one sex has inherent biological factors that protect from or exacerbate disease. Historically the root causes...
Telomere length (TL) is widely considered a molecular/cellular hallmark of the aging process with implications for multiple diseases. While there has been success in epidemiology and genomew...
