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.
Target selection is arguably the most important decision in all drug discovery and development activities. No amount of great science can overcome the selection of the wrong target. The rapid...
Patients with chromosomal rearrangements resulting in fusion proteins are among the most responsive to published targeted therapy. For example, targeting of the EML4-ALK fusion in non-small c...
Rare disorder analysis has been facilitated by the declining cost of sequencing. Despite numerous success stories the underlying cause remains unexplained in >50% cases, emphasizing the ne...
DNASTAR offers an integrated suite of software for assembling and analyzing sequence data from all major next-generation sequencing platforms. DNASTAR software supports a variety of key workf...
In this presentation I describe pathway based analyses of genotyping data to identify pathways related to the development of complex diseases, with a focus on lung cancer and selected autoimm...
Next-Generation Sequencing is enabling scientists to study the transcriptome in ways never before possible. During this session with Illumina Distinguished Scientist, Dr. Gary Schroth, you w...
Whole genomic and exomics sequencing applied clinically is revealing newly discovered genes and syndromes at an astonishing rate. While clinical databases and variant annotation continue to g...
Genome and exome sequencing are widely used for both basic and clinical research and diagnosis. Although sequencing costs have dropped dramatically and technology and algorithms used for call...
The flexibility of the BioMark Real-Time PCR System, allow us to preform genetic research using different types of nano-fluidic (48.48 or 96.96) chips setup, in the thermal cycle of these chi...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized extraction of genomic information, facilitating rapid advances in the fields of clinical research and molecular diagnostics. However, c...
One of the hallmarks of human cancers is genetic instability. My colleagues and I recently identified a remarkable association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and genomic structural variat...
Structural variants (SVs), defined as the deletion, duplication, insertion, inversion or translocation of genomic regions, are both a major source of genetic diversity in human populations an...
