CD Genomics, a world-leading company in genomic services, today announced that members of its management team would participate in the 37th Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) Annual Meeting...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS), which makes millions to billions of sequence reads at a fast rate, has greatly sped up genomics research. At the moment, Illumina, Ion Torrent/Life Technologies...

What is metatranscriptomic sequencing? Metatranscriptomic sequencing provides direct access to culturable and non-culturable microbial transcriptome information by large-scale, high-throughput...

Bacterial plasmids Bacterial plasmids are circular or linear double-stranded DNA molecules defined by their capability of autonomous replication in the hosts. They are critical sources for microbial...

16S/18S/ITS amplification sequencing uses the next/third generation sequencing platform and performs high throughput sequencing of PCR products from specific regions such as 16S rDNA/18S rDNA/ITS...

Biomarkers are defined as measurable biological characteristics that are associated with normal or pathological conditions. They possess clinical relevance, including diagnostic, prognostic, and...

Introduction to Microbial Identification Microbiology research revolves around the detection and identification of microorganisms. It can be used in a variety of fields, including the environment...

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are caused by single-nucleotide variants in both coding and non-coding regions, which are the most common and smallest variants. There are more than 3 million...

Next-Generation Sequencing or NGS has provided scientists alternative approaches in understanding DNA. The technology has come a long way from the simple sequencing technique developed by Sanger in...

Introduction to target region sequencing Since the introduction of Sanger sequencing in 1977, genetic sequencing has been greatly improved with costs simultaneously falling. With the ability to...

As is known to all, most of the viruses infect microorganisms, plants, and animals. They cause familiar infectious diseases (such as the flu and warts) and even some severe illnesses such as smallpox...

What is gene sequencing? Gene sequencing is a type of genomic testing technology. PCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and microarray technologies are mainly used to investigate the presence...

The cell is the basic unit of life. Most current studies on the human genome, cancer or other fields are still conducted from the population level, and the results are often the mean value of gene...
