RNA-Seq – News and Features

Life science companies combine expertise to enhance transcriptome research.

Company has announced partnership with Lexogen to distribute Lexogen’s NGS products.

The bioinformatics market is driven primarily by the demand for better medical data storage, retrieval, and management systems.

Zika's hypothesized attraction to human neural stem cells may come from its ability to hijack a protein found on the surface of these cells, using it as an entryway to infection. In Cell Stem Cell, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco show that the AXL surface receptor, normally involved in cell division, is highly abundant on the surface of neural stem cells, but not on neurons in the developing brain.

Deeper genetic analysis with RNA sequencing provides better diagnostics and treatments for patients with everything from cancer to deadly viruses.

In one of the first studies to 'read' the genetic activity inside individual brain cells, University of Wisconsin-Madison neuroscientist Xinyu Zhao has identified the genetic machinery that causes maturation in a young nerve cell.

Company has announced that the USPTO has issued U.S. patent for improving data quality and small RNA sequencing technology.

In the ongoing arms race between pathogenic viruses and the cells they infect, each side needs every advantage it can get. One way wily viruses can get a leg up is by subverting the microRNAs (miRNAs) of their host.

Researchers at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and German Cancer Research Center have identified that the molecular analysis is likely to improve classification and diagnosis of a rare brain tumor and advance precision medicine.
