To better understand the dietary practices of emerging adults, and college students more specifically, it is necessary to use effective measurement techniques. The purpose of this critique is to compare dietary intake measures used in research assessing dietary practices among college students.

The goal of this pilot study was to exploit NGS technology with a view to shedding new light on the genome of cells used in the MLA, as well as the changes induced as a result of the exposure to mutagens.

Our results indicate that MS modifications are required for experiments with co-electroporation of Cas9 mRNA and synthetic gRNA, yet have no impact on editing efficiency when delivered with lipid-based transfection reagents.

The recent fast advancement of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies allowing for unprecedented speed and accuracy in analyzing viral genomes are opening new ways to further improve diagnostic genotyping of HCV.

Objectives: to develop improved detection of clinically relevant viral mutations using ion torrent based NGS in an automated workflow.

This poster describes the approaches used to ensure effective delivery of siRNA molecules and to identify robust siRNA controls. It also provides the strategies used to validate compatibility of the RNAi automation platform with the phenotype being analyzed.

Here we describe GenetiSure Pre-Screen, a same day, cost-effective, analysis workflow that combines whole genome amplification (WGA) with copy number (CN) profiling using high-resolution oligo CGH microarrays.

The aim of this study is to understand the mechanism behind the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), lying in non-coding regions near or within RAD51B and RAD23B, and prostate cancer risk by analysing their interactions with the whole genome using Circular Chromosome Conformation Capture (4C).

We developed a magnetic bead-based cfDNA extraction kit and integrated it into the automated qPCR- and NGS-based IVD workflows. In this study we are compering this magnetic beads-based cfDNA extraction system with a column-based method.

Chemical synthesis has been easily applied for rapidly generating either crRNA and tracrRNA or synthetic sgRNA for direct delivery into cells for gene editing applications such as DNA-free options and high throughput arrayed screening.
