The single approach could be useful in some of the same areas where combinations of technologies have been implemented, such as AR-V7 testing in prostate cancer.
Researchers found that air pollution levels affected the expression of genes linked to cardio-metabolic and respiratory traits more than genetic ancestry.
At AGBT, researchers described applications for rapid pathogen ID; evaluating DNA, RNA, and gene expression in one assay; and understanding tumor heterogeneity.
California Kids Cancer Comparison leader David Haussler said the project's workflow was able to match 100 percent of tumor samples it tested to possible treatments.
As organisms age, their transcriptomic signatures shift from looking more like those observed in cancer to those seen in degenerative chronic diseases.
The company expects to be able to offer at least one test commercially by the end of this year or early next, with research now starting on two others.
A La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology-led team sequenced the transcriptomes of thousands of CD4+ T cells and compared their expression patterns.
The partners will collect and analyze cancer samples and analyze data to support basic and translational research and advance precision oncology and personalized medicine.
Peking University researchers performed single-cell methylome sequencing on preimplantation cells to examine DNA methylation changes during early development.
Investigators characterized expression activity in kidney grafts from a group of transplant recipients who remained rejection-free without immunosuppression.
Commercialization efforts will focus on the most recent version of Genialis' platform, which includes tools for RNA-seq analysis and variant discovery.
The partners will test samples from an NSABP biobank on Nanostring's platform and with standard IHC to look for newer biomarkers of cancer immune evasion.
HER3 mRNA expression analysis can predict colorectal cancer patients with wild-type RAS tumors who will respond to panitumumab, US and UK researchers reported.
The funding is being awarded under the auspices of the NIH's BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network, which aims to establish reference cell atlases of the brain.
