NEW YORK – The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) on Thursday released the preliminary results of its April SARS-CoV-2 testing survey for clinical laboratories, showing that while labs recognize the need to increase diagnostic testing capacity, a significant portion of them have experienced interruptions in their supply chains that have slowed down their ability to offer efficient testing programs to patients.

Target Enrichment NGS Panel Outperforms the Gold Standard for Sequence and CNV Analysis

Sponsored by
Roche

Target enrichment has been a major driver behind the clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) over the last decade because it simplifies analysis and provides a cost-effective method of massive parallel resequencing. It has not only replaced Sanger sequencing, but it is actively dispensing the need for parallel copy number variant (CNV) analysis using classic techniques.

Spatial Expression Analyses Elucidates Mechanisms of circRNAs in Cancer

Sponsored by
ACD

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently gained substantial attention in the cancer research field where most, including the putative oncogene ciRS-7 (CDR1as), have been proposed to function as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) by “sponging” specific microRNAs.
