Announcing the FGED (Functional Genomics Data Society) is holding its 15th international conference “Translation Genomics: Application of Genomics to Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment” on June 20th-22nd in Seattle Washington, USA. We have an excellent line up of invited speakers and conference session and there are opportunities for others to present. In addition the speaking sessions, we will have poster sessions on two evenings and data analysis workshops on the 22nd. Abstracts for both the speakers and poster presenters are due May 1. For more information please visit http://fged.org/conferences/upcoming-conference2/ and be sure to sign up early before prices go up.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
