Take any two individuals, sequence and compare their genomic DNA, and you'll find that the vast majority (about 99.9%) of the sequences are identical. In the remaining 0.1% lie differences in disease ...

If the concept of personalized medicine is to be realized, it is increasingly clear that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the most common genetic variations between human beings, will be a key ...

Using SNP-CGH to Profile for Amplifications, Duplications, and Deletions The beginnings of personalized medicine have been forged by recent advances in SNP genotyping technologies. It is now possible ...

Association studies that correlate SNP patterns to disease risks are straightforward. Clues to the past can be subtler, but they are found at all levels of evolution--from the great branching points ...

Flex-Seq® Ex-L offers targeted, fast, and effective sequencing-based genotyping to characterize upwards of 40,000 loci in plants and animals, such as maize, cotton, cattle, and pig. By sequencing a ...

Inflammatory and nutritional markers as predictors of longer hospital stay and suboptimal residual disease (RD) in ovarian cancer (OVCA). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2012 ASCO Annual ...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are cellular innate immune receptors that explore microbial molecules. For instance, TLR4 can sense bacterial lipopolysaccharides, inducing cytokines and antimicrobial ...

Genetic variability and sex-specific differences may play a role in sickle cell disease (SCD)-related pain; however, more research is needed. In the present study, saliva samples from 59 adults with ...
