INTEGRATED HOST-MICROBE METAGENOMICS OF CELL-FREE NUCLEIC ACID FOR SEPSIS DIAGNOSIS

INTEGRATED HOST-MICROBE METAGENOMICS OF CELL-FREE NUCLEIC ACID FOR SEPSIS DIAGNOSIS Researchers at UCSF and the Chan Zuckerberg Institute have developed a single-sample metagenomic approach combining host transcriptional profiling with unbiased pathogen detection to improve sepsis diagnosis. Sepsis causes 20% of all deaths globally and contributes...

NON-INVASIVE PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS OF SINGLE GENE DISORDERS USING DROPLET DIGITAL PCR

NON-INVASIVE PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS OF SINGLE GENE DISORDERS USING DROPLET DIGITAL PCR Researchers at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub and Stanford have developed non-invasive methods for detection of fetal autosomal recessive and X-linked diseases during pregnancy. Pre-natal diagnosis of single gene disorders often requires the use of invasive techniques...
