    Greetings from Kansas City

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Brandon Dinwiddie and I'm currently working as a bioinformatician in a laboratory at UMKC (University of Missouri - Kansas City). I graduated from my undergrad here at UMKC in May with a B.S. in Biology and B.A. in Chemistry and Psychology. I'm not entirely sure if this is the line of work I want to go into, I wanted to have more research experience under my belt before I made the decision of whether to go Ph.D. Biology or into a medical graduate program.

    I have no previous bioinformatic experience, only computer experience and even now I'm feeling those might have not been a good measurement of my bioinformatics capabilities, but I'd like to think I'm picking it up at a fairly decent rate.

    I'm not sure what else to mention, but I look forward to interacting with members of the forums. I know I'll certainly be asking my fair share of questions and I'm slowly starting to help some of my fellow bioinformaticians. If you have any questions for me feel free to ask. I'm usually pretty friendly.



    Cheers,
    Brandon

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    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...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    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
