Differential Gene Expression (DGE) Analysis in RNA Sequencing
What Are DEGs in Genetics? DEGs, or Differentially Expressed Genes, are genes whose expression levels show significant differences between two or more conditions or experimental groups. In genetics and genomics research, gene expression refers to the process by which information encoded in a gene's DNA sequence is converted into functional proteins or RNA molecules. When studying gene ...

Importance of Investing in Healthcare and MedTech R&D
Jian Zhang: Technology has always been a vital ally for healthcare. From diagnostic capabilities finding disease earlier to therapies that increase the quality of care, improve clinical efficiency, and lower cost. But healthcare has been slow to adopt technology because innovation can be long, incremental, and path-dependent. This is especially true when examining investment in research and ...

Production of trimeric SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by CHO cells for serological COVID-19 testing
Soon after the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 was determined in January 2020, there was a rush to develop rapid diagnostics for the disease. The World Health Organization issued early guidance and protocols for the use of PCR to assist in diagnosing the disease. However, drawbacks like long turnaround times and invasive sampling for PCR tests led to a concerted push to develop rapid antibody ...
