Nascent Transcript Writer: Jeff Calhoun Due to the reduced cost of next-generation sequencing and the demonstrated utility of genetic diagnoses, more and more individuals are having their genes, exomes, and even genomes sequenced in a clinical setting. This testing ranges widely from gene panels to identify cancer subtypes, to array Comparative Genomic Hybridization to identify... Read More

Nascent Transcript Writer: Sumantra Chatterjee, PhD Large scale exome and whole genome sequencing have led to cataloging vast arrays of disease-associated genes and variants for various multifactorial disorders, yet the underlying biology for most of these has been difficult to unravel, leading to diagnostic uncertainty. This has been partly due to our incomplete knowledge of... Read More
Written by Nascent Transcript writer Sumantra Chatterjee (@rovingscientist) The practice of science has been a source of fascination and confusion for many over the years. It’s a world full of jargon and complicated data that have no real-life application. So, it takes a while to explain that if you look beyond the jargon, most things... Read More
Written by Nascent Transcript writer Jennifer Zieba The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was brought forth in the mid-1950s when John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky used the term to describe machines that could do more than carry out simple input calculations. Now, AI and advanced machine learning techniques have not only become ubiquitous in our... Read More
