I'm a graduate student in Bioinformatics at Boston University. I'm with the graduate partnership with NIH so I'm doing my thesis at the National Cancer Institute. I'm working on miRNA profiling in neuroblastoma samples using nextgen technology. I have Solexa data and our lab is getting a Solid machine to test out, so I'll have a lot more data coming.

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,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM
