The adenosine analogue remdesivir has emerged as a front-line antiviral treatment for SARS-CoV-2, with preliminary evidence that it reduces the duration and severity of illness. Prior clinic...
Understanding the order in which mutations accumulate during cancer progression could help us identify effective therapeutic targets. Yet, our insights are limited by the fact that we can on...
In the event of a radiological or nuclear disaster, there will be a need for therapies that can mitigate the acute hematopoietic and gastrointestinal (GI) radiation syndromes expected to dev...
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine efficacy testing is now facing increasing challenges in the face of an ongoing pandemic with the emergence of new variants and waning vaccine immunity. Evidence supports t...
Technological advances have made genomic sequencing more affordable, efficient, and available. Questions related to the implementation and effects of large-scale sequencing in healthcare have...
Laboratory implementation of clinical genomics in children requires customization of analytical tools tailored to profile the divergent mutational landscape in childhood tumors. The relative...
The agricultural sector has been through significant changes since the 2018 Farm Bill was enacted. Hemp production was legalized at the federal level in the United States. Hemp production an...
It has been estimated that every human being carries ~20 rare “natural human gene knockouts”-DNA variants in protein-coding regions of the genome that partially or completely inac...
Every day in America nearly seven thousand people die. That’s about two and a half million deaths per year. When a death is violent, unexpected, medically unattended, or suspicious &nd...
According to the American Cancer Society, in there were an estimated 110,070 new cases diagnosed and approximately 32,120 deaths from gynecologic cancers in the U.S. in 2018. Of the five mos...
What if your lab could perform exome sequencing with the same sensitivity and efficiency of targeted sequencing? The new integrated QIAseq Human Exome TR Insights solution from QIAGEN delive...
Individuals of under-represented minority ancestry are at disproportional risk for higher incidence and mortality rates for particular cancers. The unequal burden of cancer in certain racial...
The success in the solving cases is based upon a system that emphasizes teamwork, from scene; recognition, collection, preservation, to laboratory; examination, identification , individualiz...
Join me, an applied epidemiologist with boots on the ground, as we review key discoveries learned from the reopening of sports, entertainment and the arts. The four pillars of reopening incl...
The CRISPR revolution has begun and shows no signs of slowing down. CRISPR-Cas nuclease-based genome editing strategies hold great promise for the treatment of genetic disorders. However, a...
Aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering strategies are recommended for prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk populations. Guidelines recommend a 30-50% redu...
Learning Objectives: 1. To provide an overview of relevant hereditary cancer syndromes 2. To encourage providers to obtain a thorough family history 3. To educate providers about available r...
This session will provide an update on PAMA, related coding initiatives, and what we are seeing from the payor perspective so far this year. Participants will have a deeper understandin...
Proliferation biomarkers are proteins that are up-regulated in growing cells. Immunological staining of tumor tissue can provide an indication of the aggressivity of the tumor and provide in...
One significant challenge with SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring is the lack of optimized and standardized sample processing steps, from sample collection to RNA detection. Viral concentratio...
