CancerVar: A New Bioinformatics Tool Developed for Clinical Interpretation of Cancer Mutations

XTalks

CancerVar will help researchers standardize and automate clinical interpretations for 13 million somatic mutations from 1,911 cancer census genes. The gene mutations that cause sporadic cancer occur only in the tumor cells and are acquired during an individual’s life, not inherited.

Guide to using AAV vectors in gene therapy

Drug Discovery World

In 2023, DDW hosted a webinar, ‘A comprehensive guide to using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in gene therapy’, supported by Azenta Life Sciences. AAV is optimal for gene therapy due to its efficiency and safety in humans; however, AAV processes can present obstacles for researchers. How is the titer determined?
