A new platform technology, OPTi-OX, optimises the way of switching on genes in human stem cells, enabling the production of millions of human brain and muscle cells in days.

AccuSomatic Amplification for Single Cell Sequencing enables the discovery of true somatic SNVs in single cells that could not be accurately detected by any prior method.

The field of single-cell genomics is advancing rapidly and is generating many new insights into complex biological systems, but conventional methods can present technical challenges and be financially limiting.

Themes discussed at February’s AGBT 2017 – held across the peninsula in Hollywood Beach while its traditional home is being renovated – focused on the latest developments in NGS technology and the growing interest in single cell analyses.

Researchers at the University of Geneva have devised a genomic technique for identifying new imprinted genes.

Cell Design Labs' scientific founder co-authors review article illustrating power and potential of engineered human cells to treat cancer.

Researchers at the St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) and CeMM observed unexpected variety in the epigenome of Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive childhood cancer.

Mapping the transcriptome of neurons with development will enable better understanding of brain function. Being able to target specific classes of interneurons will enable researchers to tease out their function and predict how these brain areas will respond to therapies.

Success could lead to innovative new cancer immunotherapies.

Salk scientists find that targeting the interaction between a pancreatic tumor and its microenvironment could weaken cancer.
