Somatic mutations that arise during development are increasingly recognized as contributors to neurodevelopmental disease. One challenge has been to determine how mosaic mutations contribute...
In this presentation I will describe results from a family study designed to identify the genetic cause for familial clustering of several early onset cancers. Data from next generatio...
One of the central tenants of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Learning Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the utility of long-read RNA-sequencing in studying alternative isoforms 2. Define the long-Split-seq approach to profiling the transcriptomes of single-c...
Advanced cancer patients, individuals that have a <50% chance of 5 year-survival and have exhausted standard of care options, are often seeking for innovative therapies. These drugs may b...
Performance. Automation. Convenience. Versatility. Those three elements exemplify the Miltenyi Biotec family of flow cytometers. Designed to support the field of flow cytometry, the MACSQuan...
While CRISPR-Cas9 has dominated the science headlines in recent years, there has been a broad social and moral consensus that it is too soon to move to clinical use of genome editing in human...
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and its oral analog capecitabine are fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy agents used in several solid tumors. Approximately 5% of patients inherit diminished or null activity...
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility (e.g., lineage B.1.1.7), and which appear to...
Gene therapy has experienced an increasing number of successful human clinical trials, leading to 6 FDA approved products using delivery vectors based on adeno-associated viruses (AAV). Thes...
Sex and gender differences are apparent in health and disease and aduring aging. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death with pronounced sex and gender differences...
Boston Children’s Hospital is developing the infrastructure needed for large-scale psychiatric research and treatment discovery. The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research and...
Biological systems are comprised of numerous cell types, intricately organized to form functional tissues and organs. Cell atlas initiatives with single-cell RNA sequencing have begun to cha...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
The study of inherited genomic variation through genome wide association studies (GWAS) promised to provide key biologic insight into common diseases of public health significance such as obe...
Infectious gastroenteritis is a disease caused by bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens in which the small and/or large intestines become severely inflamed. Because infectious gastroenter...
Esophageal adenocarcinoma [EAC] is the fastest growing in incidence cancer in the US over the last 25 years, while also having a 5 year survival of less than 20%. Barrett’s Esophagus [...
The personalized treatment of each cancer patient with targeted therapies selected based on our understanding of the molecular biology of cancer has been the long-standing goal of......
The introduction of improved, more cost efficient target capture technologies has accelerated the adoption of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in clinical diagnostics. The ability to provide mor...
In the field of oncology, the ability to select cells from a specific location or region within a tissue and analyze each discrete genome allows for the understanding of tumor heterogeneity....
Realizing the promise of Precision Medicine requires both a deep understanding of the landscape of genomic evidence and an understanding of the molecular drivers that influence all aspects o...
Follow us on a journey of single cell data exploration. See how you can Process, Analyze, Compare, and Contextualize, your results to identify novel biological relationships and drive new hy...
As part of Healthy Davis Together, we have implemented rapid, inexpensive, high throughput testing for SARS-Cov-2 using technology repurposed from the agricultural biotechnology sector. This...
For infectious disease pathogen detection and research, real-time PCR enables reliable, sensitive, specific, and scalable results over slower culture-based methods...
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are gold-standard genetic loci used for source attribution of evidentiary material in legal matters. Their power lies in their high heterozygosity and large allel...
Historically, nasopharyngeal sampling has been considered the gold standard for the detection of most upper respiratory tract infections, however major medical and laboratory supply chain is...
