Digital NGS using Unique Molecular Indices (UMIs) is a game-changer in RNA-seq, miRNA-seq and DNA-seq, enabling accurate quantification by overcoming PCR bias. In May, we presented the details of this technology for gene expression, microRNA analysis and mutation detection as part of our NGS Week webinar series, and again in July as part of the Summer of… Read article →
A dementia diagnosis can be devastating – not only for the person with the disease, but also for their loved ones. For people who have never experienced dementia, forgetfulness might be interpreted as an endearing sign of seniority, but after a certain stage at which a person may not remember familiar people, their surroundings, or even… Read article →
Metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes (T2D) are major diseases with a wide impact; metabolic syndrome increased in prevalence in the United States from the period of 1988–1994 to the period of 2007–2012 by greater than 35% (1), while diabetes was the 7th leading cause of death in the US in 2013. 90–95% of all… Read article →
In recent years, research into microRNA biomarkers for cancer has expanded, yielding many potential signatures for a variety of cancer types. MicroRNAs are promising biomarker candidates due to their stability in circulation in association with Ago2, HDL or extracellular vesicles, and their important gene regulation roles in multiple cancer-related processes. Multiple methods are available for miRNA… Read article →
We are all too familiar with the following scenario: we mentally make ambitious plans – “today, I will go for a run”, “tonight, I will take time out and read my favorite book”, “tomorrow, I will finally join the live webinar I was so interested in, which is quite relevant to my research”… Yes, we… Read article →
