By combining genome sequence data with phylogenetics and other clues, two teams looked at the SARS-CoV-2 introductions that sparked outbreaks in North America and Europe.
The test is based on 13 genes that form a gene signature in the blood of children with Kawasaki disease, and it enables KD to be distinguished from other diseases.
The San Diego-based firm anticipates launching an LDT for early-stage lung cancer out of a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited lab within the next two years.
With single-cell transcriptomic, T cell receptor, and B cell receptor data, researchers tracked immune shifts in tissue and peripheral blood samples from ulcerative colitis patients.
The sequence-based analysis suggests oncogene-containing circular, extrachromosomal sequences occur in most cancer types and may correspond with poorer patient outcomes.
TargetCancer is activating two enrollment sites and setting up a remote consenting process so patients with rare cancers can be seen at local community hospitals.
Zeesan's test may be used by any CLIA-certified high-complexity lab, while UCSD's test, which uses pooled samples, must be performed by the university.
