The blood system is often represented as a tree-like structure with stem cells that give rise to mature blood cell types through a series of demarcated steps. Although this representation has served as a model of hierarchical tissue organization for ...

The identification of gene fusions from RNA sequencing data is a routine task in cancer research and precision oncology. However, despite the...

Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) provide a new genomics resource that details the small RNA transcriptomes (gene expression) of four bio-medically important...

Detailed knowledge about the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 infection is important for uncovering the viral and host factors that contribute to COVID-19 pathogenesis. Old-World nonhuman primates recapitulate mild to moderate cases of COVID-19, thereby...

Scientists from the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have developed a technique that will enable researchers to more efficiently isolate and identify rare T cells that are capable of targeting viruses...

A sequencing-based solution can be utilised to determine infection clearance and microbiota recovery. Next, the researchers will apply the technique to investigate the coronavirus disease. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. The treatment of bacterial ...

The first cell atlas of an important life stage of Schistosoma mansoni, a parasitic worm that poses a risk to hundreds of millions of people each year...

RNA sequencing is currently the method of choice for genome-wide profiling of gene expression. A popular approach to quantify expression levels of...

MD Anderson researchers developed new prognostic gene signature based on findings Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center who profiled more than 45,000 individual cells from...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is recognized as a heterogeneous disease with diverse pathophysiologic mechanisms. In this study, researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine...
