Too often, I see a paper with «Whole - genome sequencing» in the title in which a handful of samples actually obtained WGS, and the rest
got targeted sequencing.
Not exact matches
They identified ALK - positive mesotheliomas by immunohistochemistry; confirmed with fluorescence in situ hybridization; and performed
targeted next - generation
sequencing of tumor DNA and RNA to
get a full picture of the exact genetic rearrangement underpinning the disease.
Instead, a microRNA can bind to a
target RNA strand with a complementary
sequence, similar to how two strands of «matched» DNA pair up, and prevent that RNA from
getting made into a protein.
The brothers
got the idea for the drug - gene interaction database after they repeatedly were asked whether lists of genes identified through cancer genome
sequencing could be
targeted with existing drugs.
He says HGS was
getting «diminishing returns» from its investment in TIGR since Venter had steered his outfit into
sequencing organisms of little medical importance, and into human genome
sequencing, also of limited value for a company like HGS that is interested in genes as drug
targets (not untranslated DNA that makes up most of the genome).
In its early
sequences, and in the conflict between Luke and the sadistic chief played by Strother Martin that provided the film's most memorable line («What we've
got here is failure to communicate»), the film feels like an unmistakable, generationally
targeted indictment of police brutality.
