FDA Grants EUAs for Coronavirus Tests from 3B Blackbio, Ohio State, and Others
The tests are designed to detect regions in the SARS-CoV-2 genome in respiratory samples or antibodies against the virus in human serum, plasma, or blood.
Case Study Highlights Potential of Autopsies to Study Strengths, Limitations of Liquid Biopsy
Premium
Investigators are building upon an initial case study that allowed them to assess how well ctDNA captured a cancer's full genomic heterogeneity compared to tissue biopsies.
All three methods build on the use of methyltransferases to mark accessible regions of the genome, using nanopore sequencing to detect the modifications.
DoE Awards $64M in Funding to Groups Using Genomics to Study Plants, Microbes
The projects are focused on the impact of microbe communities on soil nutrient cycling, and the relationship between gene function and beneficial plant traits.
Synthetic CRISPR Inhibitors Suppress DNA Breaks Induced by Cas12a
Ohio State University researchers found that a phosphorothioate-modified DNA-crRNA duplex completely blocked the function of Cas12a.
