AACR 2021: Single-cell technologies bring new insights to tumor cells Single-cell technologies have become important tools for cancer researchers and provide scientists with the ability to make measurements of individual cells to unveil heterogenicity among tissues. Recent developments in single-cell research have been a focus of the virtual American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2021 meeting held online April 9-14.Read More
Broad Institute launches new center with $150M endowment The Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University have announced the launch of a new research center intended to catalyze a new scientific discipline at the intersection of biology and machine learning.Read More
MemVerge, Analytical BioSciences speed scRNA-seq times MemVerge and Analytical BioSciences are accelerating the time-to-results for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis by using big memory technology -- a combination of Intel Optane persistent memory and MemVerge Memory Machine software.Read More
Single-cell RNAseq differentiates cancer stem cells from healthy stem cells Researchers have described a new single-cell RNA-sequencing approach, leveraging genomic and mitochondrial DNA mutations, that has the potential to differentiate normal stem cells from cancer stem cells. The article detailing the approach was published in Nature Communications on March 1.Read More
