Sequence Analysis: is the process of subjecting a DNA, RNA or peptide sequence to any of a wide range of analytical methods to understand its features, function, structure, or evolution. Methodologies used include sequence alignment, searches against biological databases, and others.
Recent work has identified epigenomic features of distal regulatory elements to be dynamic and defining indicators of cellular specification and transformation. Of particular relevance is our...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Large-scale sequencing studies have revealed the complex genomic landscape of NSCLC and genomic differences between lun...
Two projects looking at novel approaches to targeting inflammatory breast cancer will be presented. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a unique, understudied, and most lethal subtype account...
In the last two decades, large amount of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and -omics data has been generated in the field of immuno-oncology. Generating hypotheses by analyzing hundreds if no...
The oncogenic transcription factor c-MYC (MYC) is deregulated, and often overexpressed, in more than 50% of cancers. MYC deregulation is associated with poor prognosis and aggressive disease,...
In the past two decades a small number of infrequently dividing cells have been proposed as the source of multi-drug resistance during cancer treatment. These cells identified by their expres...
PacBio Sequencing simultaneously provides long sequence reads, high consensus accuracy, minimal sequence bias, and methylation detection. I will highlight new advances and updates on applying...
To date the anatomic extent of tumor (TNM-classification) has been by far the most important factors to predict the prognosis of cancer patients. However, this classification provides limited...
RNA sequencing unlocks the mysteries hidden in the transcriptome. Whether your goal is gene expression analysis, gene fusion analysis, SNP analysis or miRNA expression analysis, achieving hig...
High-throughput screening is widely useful in identifying genes and pathways that drive changes in cell behavior such as cell cycle regulation, metastasis, and drug resistance. Millipor...
In prior work, we have pursued how tumor reactive monoclonal antibody (mAb), together with activators of innate immune cells, like NK cells, can augment antibody dependent cell-mediated cytot...
Molecular analyses of cancer biology have tended to segregate between a focus on nucleic acids – DNA, RNA and their modifications – and a focus on proteins and protein function. P...
Understanding the immune repertoire is an important aspect of immuno-oncology research, which can be used to gather insights into the function and overall status of the immune system. We have...
Gene editing using CRISPR is a very promising technology, and it has already had a significant impact on a number of research fields. However, while CRISPR makes targeted modifications easier...
Learn how to optimize CRISPR-Cas9 editing efficiencies in cell lines and primary cell types using modified synthetic sgRNA. Includes tips for achieving maximum knockout and knock-in efficienc...

The bacterium Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii causes Stewart’s wilt disease in corn and serves as a model for other xylem-dwelling phytopathogens. P. stewartii is transmitted to plan...
Viruses outnumber bacteria in soil by as much as 1000:1. However, there are few studies which examine the ways viral communities impact the soil microbiome, chemical cycles, and plants. Recen...
This two-part webinar will focus on novel techniques for obtaining unbiased results in 16S rRNA gene sequencing of challenging microbiome samples. Part 1 will feature QIAGEN’s solutions...
In the US, the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System has been using WGS of Salmonella as a tool of routine surveillance since 2013. To date, NARMS has generated MIC and WGS data...
