Nucleic Acids Research Papers on Malaria Hydroxymethylation, Single-Cell Sequence Clustering, More

Dec 18, 2019

Researchers from France, the US, and Singapore describe cytosine hydroxymethylation (5hmC) modifications that appear to coincide with gene expression in the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, RNA sequencing, hydroxymethylated DNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing, mass spec, and other approaches, the team saw 5hmC levels that appeared to outpace cytosine methylation levels in the parasite's asexual life stage.

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.
