Diagnostic Tool Applies Machine Learning to Identify and Predict Sepsis Cases
A new diagnostic method applies machine learning to advanced genomics data from both microbe and host – to identify and predict sepsis cases. The approach is surprisingly accurate, and has the potential to far exceed current diagnostic capabilities. More...25 Oct 2022
Hematological Neoplasm Cytogenetics Profiled With Optical Genome Mapping
The current standard-of-care cytogenetic techniques for the analysis of hematological malignancies include karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), which are labor intensive and time and cost prohibitive, and they often do not reveal the genetic complexity of the tumor, demonstrating the need for alternative technology for better characterization of these tumors. More...25 Oct 2022

Super-Enhancer Induces Oncogenic Driver in Colorectal Carcinoma
The etiology of super-enhancer (SE) reprogramming in cancer is incompletely understood, but is widely attributed to cancer cell-intrinsic genomic alterations. Non-coding SE can become focally amplified in multiple malignancies. More...24 Oct 2022

Simple Blood Test Could Offer Smarter Treatment for Children’s Cancer
A new study has found that a simple blood test could help guide the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of cancer that mostly affects children. Researchers found that ‘liquid biopsy’ blood tests could pick up signs that a cancer had returned, assess the severity of the disease, and help guide choice of drugs. More...24 Oct 2022
AI Diagnostic Tool Could Deliver Results in Two Minutes Using Fingertip Sample
Scientists developing a platform that would use AI to speed up the process of detecting biomarkers in biofluids have shown that the concept could work, paving the way for faster test results for health conditions such as cardiovascular disorders, joint quality, and Alzheimer’s. More...21 Oct 2022
