Officials at Jumpcode Genomics reported the results of a study demonstrating the ability to improve genotyping through CRISPR-Cas9-based in vitro repeat depletion, a novel method for high-throughput ...

Human sample identification is an essential element of many research projects employing human cells, tissues, or mixtures. Identification may be required to track and confirm sample provenance for ...

Neil Risch, PhD, co-director of the Research Program on Genes, Environment and Health and director of the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics, stands with Pui-Yan Kwok, MD, PhD, a UCSF professor who led ...

In a recent study published in Lancet Microbe, researchers compare the potential of real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) genotyping assays with whole-genome sequencing ...

As the demand for renewal fuel feedstocks continues to grow, non-food feedstocks production must significantly increase to meet demand. Winter oilseeds grown in cooler climates provide opportunities ...

New advances in DNA marker/QTL (gene) discovery and marker detection technology, through marker-assisted selection, have had an immense impact on crop improvement. To find and deploy the DNA markers ...

Nucleic acid analysis, genotyping, PCR, and RFLP methodologies are time-consuming techniques using agarose or acrylamide gel electrophoresis—image capture plus gel image interpretations. Capillary gel ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an important component of first-line treatment selection for metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is typically ordered by medical oncologists in the ...

In recent years, the rise of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has unlocked new dimensions in variant detection. However; single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping often remains dependent on ...

Like many researchers who had to run hundreds of Southern blots, I felt immediate relief the first time I used PCR for genotyping. It was no longer going to take seven days to see results, and I would ...
