Space Travel Shifts White Blood Cell Expression in Transcriptomic Study
Researchers saw immune-related gene expression changes in astronauts on the International Space Station, along with shifts to baseline in the weeks after their return to Earth.
Human-Specific Features Found With CRISPR Screening on Stem Cells
With loss-of-function screens on human, chimp, and orangutan stem cells, researchers narrowed in on species-specific genetic dependencies involving dozens of genes.
Endometriosis Linked to Bacterial Infection, Suggesting Treatment With Antibiotics
Researchers found that infection with Fusobacterium, which can be treated with antibiotics, leads to gene expression and cellular changes involved in the onset of endometriosis.
MGI Tech Partners With Sweden's Xpress Genomics on Single-Cell RNA-seq Tech Development
MGI has licensed single-cell RNA-seq techniques that cover the full length of a transcript from Xpress Genomics.
ESHG: UK 100K Genomes Project Demonstrates Diagnostic Potential of RNA-seq for Rare Diseases
Early analysis of transcriptomic sequencing data from over 4,400 rare disease patients revealed expression and splicing outliers that are likely disease-causing.
