Sequencing: is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence - the order of nucleotides in DNA. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
Massively parallel sequencing technology has proven to enable the identification of driver genetic alterations in patients' tumors that may be suppressed by targeted therapies. Through retros...
In the United States, invasive aspergillosis (IA), an invasive fungal infection of the upper respiratory tract of immune compromised patients, is usually caused by Aspergilus fumigatus, while...
Personalized medicine is expected to benefit from the combination of genomic information with the global monitoring of molecular components and physiological states. To ascertain whether this...
In this presentation I describe some of the approaches we are taking to identify the genetic architecture of common complex cancers with a particular focus on the etiology of lung cancer. Can...
With the technical costs of genome sequencing continuously dropping, it is now feasible to offer this assay in a clinical context. Empirical evidence suggests that genome and exome sequencing...
Our ability to view and alter biology is progressing at an exponential pace -- faster even than electronics. Next generation sequencing can be used to assess inherited, environmental and epi-...
Genetic testing is becoming a widespread practice and with human genome fully sequenced we want to develop best methods to do it. Single gene or single mutation screening is pretty much becom...
A 2013 survey conducted by the Woodrow Wilson Synthetic Biology Project found that 75% of adults have heard just a little or nothing at all about synthetic biology, figures that were virtuall...
Development of a companion diagnostic can be critical to the success of a drug. Pharmaceutical companies are committing more and more of their efforts to discover and deliver targeted therapi...
VITROS® Microslides utilize a layered, dry-slide technology that enables separate reaction domains such that each step can be optimized to provide excellent assay performance. Excellent preci...
 The Project (PersonalGenomes.org) enables open observation and critique of a large cohort "test-driving" comprehensive participatory personalized medicine. This is the only fully open-access...
