Dienstag, April 19, 2022

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mission Bio, Inc., the pioneer in high-throughput single-cell DNA and multi-omics analysis, today announced a co-marketing partnership with S2 Genomics, Inc., a leading developer of laboratory automation solutions for processing solid tissues for single-cell applications, to offer a single streamlined workflow for solid tumor applications from sample prep through analysis. The automated nuclei extraction-and-analysis workflow has been validated by the laboratory of Christine A. Iacobuzio-Donahue, MD, PhD, Director of the Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), who shared her findings last week at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.

Key Points: 
  • Single-cell DNA analysis has transformed cancer research, supporting high-resolution insights into tumor heterogeneity that have led to a series of high-profile publications on disease mechanisms.
  • But challenges are greater for solid tumor profiling, where existing prep workflows often fail to produce sufficient cells or nuclei to provide meaningful results.
  • "We are eager to partner with leading companies to address key challenges to sample prep in solid tumor research," said Yan Zhang, PhD, CEO of Mission Bio.
  • S2 Genomics, founded in 2016, is a leading developer of laboratory automation solutions for processing solid tissues for single-cell applications.

Bionano Genomics Announces Publication of a New Study Using OGM Combined with Multiple Analytical Methods Including Single-Cell Analysis as a Comprehensive Molecular Strategy to Characterize the Genomic Variation in B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Retrieved on: 
Mittwoch, April 6, 2022

In this study, from the University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium, researchers used a combination of methods to characterize genetic variation in samples from 12 subjects with B-ALL (11 pediatric, 1 adult).

Key Points: 
  • In this study, from the University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium, researchers used a combination of methods to characterize genetic variation in samples from 12 subjects with B-ALL (11 pediatric, 1 adult).
  • Conventional understanding suggests that cancer development, including B-ALL, can result from an accumulation of genetic changes that lead to unchecked cell growth.
  • As observed in this study, genetic variants associated with cancer development include SNVs, CNVs, and SVs.
  • Different methods are required to characterize the full spectrum of genetic variations present in a sample.

NuProbe QASeq Technology Enables Simultaneous Ultrasensitive Detection of CNVs and Mutations from FFPE Tissue and cfDNA

Retrieved on: 
Dienstag, April 5, 2022

The results show detection of CNVs down to 5% heterozygous single copy gain or loss, and mutations down to 0.1% variant allele frequency (VAF), from both formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples and from cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples[1].

Key Points: 
  • The results show detection of CNVs down to 5% heterozygous single copy gain or loss, and mutations down to 0.1% variant allele frequency (VAF), from both formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples and from cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples[1].
  • However, these methods are limited in their multiplexing, and typically no more than about four genes can be profiled for CNVs with these methods.
  • Ueno, Reuben, and Barcenas at MD Anderson applying QASeq to breast cancer samples have demonstrated the unique capabilities of QASeq.
  • The simultaneous CNV and mutation profiling capabilities of QASeq allow NuProbe to provide our biopharma partners with powerful patient stratification tools.
