University of Texas Team Automates Sequence Alignment, Phylogenetic Tree Generation

Jun 18, 2009

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have developed a new method — dubbed simultaneous alignment and tree estimation, or SATé — for estimating DNA alignment as a phylogenetic tree is constructed.

ctDNA MRD Detection and Personalized Oncogenomic Analysis in Colorectal Cancer

This webinar will discuss findings from the study, in which molecular residual disease (MRD) was assessed using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) without prior mutational knowledge in oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This study also investigated urine as an alternative analyte for ctDNA MRD detection.
