THE GENOMICS ENTHUSIAST

Enabling HIV Epidemiology

ENABLING HIV EPIDEMIOLOGY Simplifying HIV Variant Tracking with Low Throughput Automation "Lab A" is an epidemiology lab tracking variants of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). They collect samples from approximately 16 people a day, amplify the whole viral genome with specific primers and the amplicons obtained are sequenced. An amplicon-based approach for whole genome sequencing (WGS) facilitates the analysis of [...]

Tips on Establishing a Reliable Cell-Free DNA Workflow from Plasma Samples

Analyzing circulating cell free DNA (ccfDNA) offers a non-invasive, dynamic window into the body’s physiological state and its use as a biomarker is gaining rapidly. However, multiple challenges remain with establishing its routine application. This is mainly due to its low levels, high rates of fragmentation, and preanalytical variabilities associated with sample collection, cfDNA extraction and quantification. Here, we go through some tips on how one can establish a reliable cfDNA workflow from plasma samples.

Pandemic Preparedness and Prevention

SURVEILLANCE PLANS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS AND PREVENTION The main lesson being learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is the importance of detecting cases early, following up on close contacts and preventing further disease spread for as long as possible. Other new and emerging diseases can affect us anywhere and at any time. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and [...]
