With Pacific Biosciences sequencing, researchers found DNA N6-methyladenine modifications in the human genome and noted a role for it in tumorigenesis.
The researchers developed a protocol for dengue and chikungunya virus detection, which they plan to continue to test for outbreak monitoring and diagnostics.
The plaintiffs claim that Qiagen's QIAseq kits infringe Archer's US Patent No. 10,017,810, which covers parts of its Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP) technology.
Diassess said that the funds will accelerate development of a flu test for use in the clinic and sustain development of another flu test for use in the home.
A Harvard Medical School-led team applied their SNP-seq and FREP approach to identify nearly 150 candidate functional SNPs for juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

The firm aims to commercialize its platform for infectious disease testing in the US by mid to late 2019, and continues to explore additional financing options.
Women who post YouTube science videos get more critical comments and more comments about their appearance than male video hosts, the New York Times reports.
Blood is a proven, reliable sample source when it comes to DNA analysis; however, it is time consuming, expensive and an invasive collection for donors. Finding a comparable source of genetic material that is more cost effective and less invasive would be extremely beneficial. Could saliva be the answer? Read this white paper for an in-depth analysis of DNA quality, sample type functionality/ease-of-use and costs associated with saliva and blood for DNA collection.
For any analysis of the gut microbiota, it is essential to capture an accurate microbiome snapshot of the richness and relative abundance of microbes present at the moment of collection. Each of collection and transportation methods has the potential to expose samples to conditions incompatible with microbiome stabilization. Failure to properly stabilize the microbiome during sample collection, transport and processing risk obscuring the biological and clinical meaning of the microbiome profile.
RNA sequencing is rapidly gaining popularity in research and drug development with distinct advantages over microarrays and other technologies. Considerations for sample preparation, sequencing strategy and bioinformatics are critical for consistent quality data, especially when dealing with challenging FFPE samples.
