The current version of the human reference genome, GRCh38, contains a number of errors including 1.2 Mbp of falsely duplicated and 8.04 Mbp of collapsed regions. These errors impact the vari...
Long-read sequencing was declared the method of the year for 2022 and, indeed, has fully arrived on the computational biology scene. Specifically, Oxford Nanopore Sequencing technology has e...
Do you have targets that are difficult to genotype? Are you starting new projects and looking for a fast convenient genotyping solution?Whether screening CRISPR clones, exploring pharmaco...
Given the onset of extensive school closures, we are facing widespread scenarios of stunted learning, social isolation, and most troubling, an unprecedented surge in student suicides, all wh...
Experience the Revolution of DNA Polymerase Technology: Choosing the Best DNA Polymerase for Efficient PCR Workflows. PCR has revolutionized modern molecular biology, but its success would n...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs with an average size of 22 nucleotides that regulate gene expression through various mechanisms. During the last decade, researchers have identified over 26...
Accurate prediction of anticancer drug efficacy on each patient’s cancer before the initiation of therapy has the potential to significantly reduce the treatment burden and enhance cli...
The advent of CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated) makes it feasible to target/edit the genome with precision. Most of the CRSIPR-Cas syst...
It has been publicly stated by the CDC that one in 5 Americans had an STI in 2018 and costs our healthcare system roughly $16 billion in direct medical costs. Routine sexually transmitted inf...
With the health economic benefits of genetic testing clear, testing is becoming more accessible, which means constantly increasing throughput requirements for already stretched genomics......
Traditional methods for pathogen detection are often expensive and time-consuming and requires a well-equipped laboratory. Here we present a low-cost, deployable paper-based biosensor device...
Learning Objectives: 1. List types of sequencing and genomics methods. 2. List several methods for epigenome engineering. 3. Describe the genomic changes that occur in a spacecraft and in ast...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discover how Genetics is not the major determinant of chronic diseases and cancers; human microbiome and nutrition heavily contribute to their onset and progression....
CRISPR-based diagnostics offer rapid and highly sensitive detection of disease biomarkers. Their ease of use and compatibility with lateral-flow readouts make them suitable for point-of-care...
This is a technical talk. Its objective is to provide details of virus sequencing, using SARS-CoV-2 as an example. Knowing the details, strengths, and limitations of virus sequencing will en...
The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the need for diagnostics that can be rapidly adapted and deployed in a variety of settings. Several SARS-CoV-2 variants have shown worrisome effects on vacci...
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) uses a stand-displacing DNA polymerase and four to six primers to rapidly amplify DNA at a single temperature. By eliminating temperature cyclin...
In this talk, I will introduce two new tools that we developed based on CRISPR-enabled gene regulation in bacteria, and one method based on P1 phagemid-enabled delivery of Cas9 nuclease. Fir...
Altered enteric microorganisms in concert with host genetics shape inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) phenotypes. However, insight is limited to bacteria and fungi. We found that eukaryotic vi...
Silk is essential to the life histories of more than 800,000 species across the arthropod tree of life. Humans have harnessed the ability of a handful of these for use in the sericulture ind...
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This presentation will summarise the epidem...
Our understanding of the genetic basis of disease has been rapidly advancing thanks to major technological advances in genomic sequencing and data analysis. Yet the majority of individuals w...
CRISPR has revolutionized the biosciences over the past decade. The RNA-targeting CRISPR effector protein Cas13, discovered in 2016, opened up a myriad of new applications for CRISPR-based t...
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has driven the use of nucleic acid testing technology in clinical testing. There is a growing need for point-of-care testing (POCT)......
