  2. 1. Next generation molecular diagnostics using ultrasensitive sequencing

    Author : Stefan Filges; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Liquid biopsy; cell-free DNA; circulating tumor DNA; molecular diagnostics; next-generation sequencing; unique molecular identifiers; melanoma;

    Abstract : Massively parallel sequencing enables the exploration of the genetic heterogeneity within microbial, viral and tumor cell populations. Detecting circulating tumor DNA in blood and other body fluids has the potential to revolutionize molecular diagnostics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ultrasensitive DNA sequencing using liquid biopsies enables precision medicine

    Author : Gustav Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Liquid biopsy; cell-free DNA; immune repertoire; next-generation sequencing; unique molecule identifier; GIST; γδ T cell;

    Abstract : Liquid biopsies are minimally invasive and allow repetitive sampling of body fluids. Analysis of cell-free tumor DNA in liquid biopsies can be used as a biomarker for cancer. However, in most clinically relevant liquid biopsies, cell-free DNA is present at low concentrations, contains minute tumor allele frequencies, and is highly fragmented. READ MORE

  5. 3. Counting molecules in cell-free DNA and single cells RNA

    Author : Kasper Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : UMI;

    Abstract : The field of Molecular Biology got started in earnest with the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA. This lead to a surge of interest into the relationships between DNA, RNA and proteins, and to the development of fundamental tools for manipulating those substances, such as cutting, ligating, amplifying, visualizing and size-selecting DNA.

  6. 4. Applications of genomic tools to decode genome function

    Author : Jilin Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The revolution in sequencing technologies has greatly advanced our understanding of genomes. Many regulatory elements lacking protein-coding ability, such as long non-coding RNAs have been identified and characterized in different biological contexts. READ MORE
