The researchers also found fixed variants in the tortoise genome linked to the immune system, which may help manage the health of the threatened species.
New data from Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, along with other recent research, suggests that surface proteins can be used to isolate cancer-specific exosomes to detect the presence of a tumor.
Researchers showed it could differentiate pancreatic cancer cases from controls with high sensitivity, and believe it could work similarly for other cancers or in infectious disease.
The funding is part of the NHGRI Genome Technology Program, which promotes new methods, technology, and instruments for sequencing and functional genomics.
Researchers led by MIT's Jim Collins have built upon their paper-based Ebola test and are hoping to find a partner to help scale production and manufacturing of the test.
The customizable, programmable antibody array has the proteins synthesized on it from cDNA and looks at a broader range of HPV subtypes than ever before.
Researchers saw higher-than-anticipated genetic diversity when they sequenced a handful of Plasmodium vivax isolates from a malaria endemic region in Colombia.
