Problem Measuring viscosity is critical to knowing if your protein and formulation will be well-behaved, or if they will really disrupt the flow of things during administration. Too bad most...
Real-time PCR, or quantitative qPCR, is a commonly used molecular biology lab technique to determine the actual amount of PCR product at a given cycle. For quantitative reverse transcription...
Cell therapy holds promise in improving outcomes for many difficult-to-treat diseases. However, this therapeutic strategy also comes with challenges that limit rollouts on a more impactful s...
Deciphering somatic mosaicism in healthy tissues and clonal diversity in tumors necessitates single-cell analysis. High-quality genomic and transcriptomic data at the single-cell level depen...
Advances in proteomics and mass spectrometry enable the study of limited cell populations such as performing mouse models. Low-protein load studies often requires two steps to perform differ...
Liquid biopsy is an emerging area of clinical research, particularly in the context of cancer. As a minimally invasive complementary or alternative approach to tissue biopsies, liquid biopsi...
The clinical laboratory for in vitro diagnostics is facing pressure these days to keep costs down whilst pressure increases to provide high quality services for more samples. Typically, clin...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become a foundational tool for both biological research and in-vitro diagnostics, particularly in oncology, immunology, and detection of genetic disorder...
While early genetic diagnosis can guide critical care management, the turnaround time for whole genome based diagnostic testing is months. Recent programs in neonatal populations have reduce...
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...
Sex differences play an important role in development and progression of many diseases, and understanding how a disease differs between the sexes is essential for the advancement of preventi...
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are a reliable, sensitive, and accurate diagnostic approach used in viral detection. The approach involves the isolation of nucleic acids from a sampl...
Screening to identify all known viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, fungus and parasites in human tumor tissues will provide a more comprehensive understanding of...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the potential for newborn screening by whole genome sequencing. 2. Review the current evidence for the sensitivity and specificity of newborn screening by who...
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...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explain what is gene therapy is. 2. Explain what steps are involved for getting a gene therapy product to the clinic. 3. Discuss development and manufacturing process...
Insects are the largest and most diverse arthropod group. Many insect species are agricultural pests or vectors of numerous diseases. In fact, the mosquito is the deadliest animal on the eart...
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...
Gene expression studies give a snapshot of the different types of RNAs being expressed at a given time point in cells or tissues in vivo. Different RNA types have different roles, for example...

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...
We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from ‘telomere-to-telomere’ (T2T)...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and specifically metagenomics became a...
Novel precision genetic technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology offer novel avenues to a better understanding the mechanisms of diseases. Using CRISPR/Cas9 we are able to p...
We introduce a differential abundance analysis method for the analysis of sparse high-throughput data from large-scale surveys of marker genes for microbial communities. Our approach relies o...
Long-read DNA sequencing technologies such as the Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) platforms, have demonstrated enhanced detection of genomic variation, including Singl...
The global pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by Severe Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has highlighted the importance of surveillance efforts to closel...
