Two thirds of families who attended enrollment sessions signed up, but those who did not voiced concerns about privacy, discrimination, and return of results.
The appropriations package would boost the NIH's fiscal 2019 budget to $39.1 billion, and earmarks money for programs such as the All of Us initiative.
The survey, conducted by SeraCare Life Sciences and GenomeWeb, asked more than 150 individuals working on clinical NGS about their quality control practices.
The VGP released its first 15 high-quality reference genome assemblies today, which are part of the project's first phase to sequence 260 vertebrate genomes.
The agency has been gathering stakeholder input on how to regulate sequencing-based infectious disease diagnostics, including targeted and metagenomic approaches.
Sarah Lawrence College's Laura Hercher warns in a New York Times op-ed that more people are going to need help figuring out what their consumer genetic testing results mean.
➢ Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has provided unique ways to understand and potentially treat human diseases using cells from individual patients. ➢ iPS cells are amenable to genomic modifications using site-specific gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, by which we can correct/ introduce precise disease causing mutations in patient or healthy iPSCs, respectively. ➢ Genome edited iPSCs and their isogenic control (or parental line) offer highly-controlled experimental models for reliable comparison of results.
The goal of this experiment was to utilize the Echo 525 Liquid Handler in assembling five, five-piece assemblies by substituting modular DNA pieces at the nanoliter scale. The Labcyte Echo Liquid Handler enables lower-cost methods and workflows to produce high-quality synthetic DNA constructs.
Before beginning a large animal study, it is critical to confirm that your labeled targeting agent is specific to the intended target within the biological complexity of the whole animal. Understanding the biodistribution and clearance of a labeled targeting agent is critical for meaningful image analysis and interpretation. This guide will provide an overview of how to validate a targeting agent in vivo.
