The power of single-cell sequencing and its application in the field of oncology remains a top opportunity for discoveries that could have a huge impact on improving human health worldwide. However, barriers remain before those studies can be furthered...
Study from NIH may help improve prenatal genetic screening...
Researchers have used CRISPR to stop the expression of individual genes in cancer cells, by knocking out every known protein-encoding gene in the human genome...
"Well thought through and brilliantly executed" study shows different DNA-repair mechanism in embryos compared to iPSCs
Scientists at the U.S Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) have published a report that references 1,003 phylogenetically diverse bacterial and archaeal reference genomes.
SOPHiA AI demystifies the secrets of the exome, home to 85% of disease-causing genetic variants. Clinicians can now get highly accurate results to diagnose patients for rare hereditary disorders.
Adult stem cells have the ability to transform into many types of cells, but tracing the path individual stem cells follow as they mature and identifying the molecules that trigger these fateful decisions are difficult in a living animal.
Scientists at The University of Missouri-Columbia are using whole genome sequencing in order to identify genetic mutations that cause rare fatal diseases in cats.
Meningococcal infections are the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in the United Kingdom, a life-threatening disease that poses a continuing threat worldwide. With growing fears around the increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, understanding why certain strains don't respond to vaccines could prove vital in helping reduce the number of global…

Single-Cell Western system capable of analysing protein expression in ~1,000 single-cells in parallel to unlock heterogeneity...
Experts at EUCAST have found that genetic methods cannot yet be used to test for susceptibility in a number of important bacterial species.
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques has revolutionised transcriptomics research and opened numerous avenues for scientific and clinical applications. While reverse transcriptase quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is still considered the gold standard of gene expression analysis, its high throughput, single-nucleotide resolution and ever-plummeting costs have made NGS…
