Is Oxford Nanopore Technology Ready for Clinical Diagnostics?

Our objective is to validate diagnostic services using Oxford Nanopore’s Minion in the first instance and to evaluate the cost and performance compared to existing sequencing technology in areas such as tumour DNA sequencing (and circulating tumour DNA), virology, microbiology, genetics and HLA-typing.

MHV68 Infection in a Novel rag2 F62L/F62L Mouse Model Based on a Patient with CID-G/AI Phenotype

MHV-68 infection in our rag2 mouse model induced increased antibody responses to virus and self and inflammatory disease in end organs. Major mechanism of inflammatory infiltrates and autoantibody generation is yet to be determined

Onchocerca Diagnostic Testing of Polymorphisms; Effects of Antigenic Mutations on Detection of Antibodies by OV-16 ELISA

Here, we have identified the particular polymorphism responsible for the loss of monoclonal antibody reactivity and investigated the potential effect these polymorphisms may have on the sensitivity of the Ov16 ELISA for the detection of parasite exposure.

Acoustic Startle Response as a Prognostic Tool for Traumatic Brain Injury

The Acoustic Startle Reflex (ASR) is a brain-stem mediated, tri-synaptic response to acoustic stimuli involving involuntary contraction of major muscle groups. Previous studies have demonstrated that this response is suppressed following the fluid-percussion model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The possibility exists that the suppression of this response could be exploited for prognostic purposes.

Applications of chemically modified synthetic guide RNA for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing

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.

Workshop report: Bioinformatics meets digital pathology

Pathologists are the guardians of large quantities of high-resolution
imaging material, that is barely noticed by bioinformatics today. Yet this (annotated) material can be of huge contributing value to any research project, as pathology preserves topological tissue features, and can help explain difficult phenomena such as tumor heterogeneity. The goal is then to bridge research methods and materials from the bioinformatics community with the (digital) pathology community.
