The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 virus variants that are adding twists in the battle against COVID-19 highlight the need for better genomic monitoring of the virus, says Katia Koelle, associate professor of biology at Emory University. “Improved genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 across ...

It is well known that batch effects exist in RNA-seq data and other profiling data. Although some methods do a good job adjusting for batch effects...

Scars on the eyes of an Ebola survivor have led researchers to a ‘super cell’ that may have the potential to help contain the virus in future outbreaks. A paper published in Translational Vision Science & Technology today describes how retinal pigment ...

from GenomeWeb NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Rare genetic diseases are increasingly diagnosed by gene sequencing panels or clinical exome tests, but the number of variants of unknown significance (VOUS or VUS) emerging from these tests is also growing. To help ...

Studies of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) offer insight into the molecular mechanisms of loci that were found to be associated with complex diseases and the mechanisms can be classified into cis- and trans-acting regulation. At present, high-throughput RNA sequencing ...

RNA-seq has become a routine technique in differential expression (DE) identification. Scientists face a number of experimental design decisions including the sample size. The power for detecting differential expression is affected by several factors including the fraction of DE genes, ...
