A look back at the “Joint-efforts for pathogen genomics in public health surveillance” symposium

Sciensano

The “Joint-efforts for pathogen genomics in public health surveillance” symposium was successfully held on May 4, recording 160 registrations. During this event, Dr. Tim Dallman (University of Utrecht) lectured on specific case studies, advantages and challenges of routine genomic surveillance of gastrointestinal pathogens.

AI-designed protein awakens silenced genes, one by one

The Pharma Data

“The beauty of this approach is we can safely upregulate specific genes to affect cell activity without permanently changing the genome and cause unintended mistakes,” Levy said. PRC2 can be blocked with chemicals, but they are imprecise, affecting PRC2 function throughout the genome.

WHO update on Omicron

The Pharma Data

1.1.529 a variant of concern, named Omicron, on the advice of WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution (TAG-VE). WHO’s TAG-VE will continue to monitor and evaluate the data as it becomes available and assess how mutations in Omicron alter the behaviour of the virus. Recommended actions for countries.

Instead of snipping the genome, base editing lets for edits of individual letters in a genetic sequence. DNA hypomethylating agents are epigenetic drugs that eliminate specific chemical tags on DNA, hence turning specific genes on and off and changing the cells’ function.

Spatial Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics Solutions – An Amelioration of Tissue Analytics

Roots Analysis

Recent advances in multi-omics approaches, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, cytometry and imaging, in combination with bioinformatics and biostatistics, have been translated into several popular bioanalytical platforms, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), single-cell analysis, flow cytometry and mass spectrometry.

Women in Science Who Have Paved the Way Forward in Genetics

XTalks

The Human Genome Project recently marked 20 years since the publication of the first full sets of human genomic sequences, an endeavor that spanned well over a decade. Today, new next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the sequencing of complex genomes within just a day or two.
