SMRT Sequencing is a DNA sequencing technology characterized by long read lengths and high consensus accuracy, regardless of the sequence complexity or GC content of the DNA sample. These cha...
A plethora of methods and tools have been developed to identify genes differentially expressed between two compared conditions, such as "diseased versus healthy". For many scientist...
Many computational approaches exist for predicting the effects of amino acid substitutions from protein sequence. These are often (incorrectly) used for judging disease predisposition from in...
Although ultrahigh-throughput RNA-sequencing has become the dominant technology for genome-wide transcriptional profiling, the vast majority of RNA-seq studies typically profile only tens of...
The realization of the promise of personalized molecular medicine requires efficient development and implementation of novel targeted therapeutics linked to molecular markers able to identify...
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analyses have identified genetic associations with a wide range of human phenotypes. However, many of the...
