CRISPR reached a big milestone this year by treating a disease inside the body—here's what's next for the technology.
Heligenics, Inc. today announced a new collaboration with The Jackson Laboratory. This joint project will make available the functional output of Variants of Unknown Significance throughout key portion of the ERBB2 gene through the JAX Clinical Knowledgebase, a digital resource that connects clinicians and researchers around the globe in order to interpret complex cancer genomic profiles.
Heligenics, Inc. today announced a new collaboration with The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). This joint project will make available the functional output of Variants of Unknown Significance (VUS) throughout key portion of the ERBB2 gene through the JAX Clinical Knowledgebase (CKB), a digital resource that connects clinicians and researchers around the globe in order to interpret complex cancer genomic profiles.
Scientists at University of Nevada, Las Vegas have detected traces of the more infectious U.K. COVID-19 variant in wastewater samples across the Las Vegas Valley, suggesting the new strain of the virus has spread to an unknown number of people in the region.
Reported cases of people getting reinfected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, are rare in the U.S. and none have been confirmed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But researchers say studying possible reinfections could answer some big questions about the body’s natural immune response after being infected with the virus.
Scientists and public health officials are constantly on the lookout for new strains of COVID-19.
