Researchers from Sanford Burnham Prebys have been awarded two grants from the National Institutes of Health to study an emerging therapeutic strategy known as viral mimicry. Dr. Charles Spruck and colleagues are working to understand how a specific pathway silences endogenous retroviruses and retrotransposons selectively in breast cancer cells and whether this could expose a vulnerability that could be exploited.

Sample QC can help maximize research success in both next-generation sequencing (NGS) and biobanking applications. Sample quality metrics such as nucleic acid size, integrity and concentration can be used to rank DNA and RNA fragments from 1 to 10.

Multiplexing allows multiple biological target analytes to be simultaneously examined and quantified in a single sample. It’s a technique widely used by scientific researchers of all disciplines and provides many benefits including maximizing the use of limited samples whilst minimizing experimental variability.
