    Greetings...

    I'm Miki.

    Although I may be member #39 on this site, I only just yesterday graduated with my BS in Molecular Biology (Minor: Chemistry). I was asked by ECO to come over and advise on the site, since I also design/administer a moderate-sized forum.

    I'm taking a year off of my education before pursuing an MD/PhD dual degree (Assuming I kick the holy living crap out of the MCATs) because my dream has always been to save the world (hopefully through medical research).

    I'm a Jane of all Trades, master of lots. My interests lie in genetic manipulation and (if we ever progress to that point) eugenics.

    Since I just graduated, I have no idea where I'm off to this year...and the job search starts next week.

    Prior to graduation, I was the president/founder of the Biological Sciences Society on campus as well as the interim president of the ACS on campus this last year as well as the coordinator of the Chemistry Magic show for the local "Chicks in Science" event. I was told I scored the highest they've ever seen (one estimate was by ~20% points) on the test they administer in a course required for graduation with a biology degree (apparently all old questions from GRE Biology subject tests), which amused me to no end because I had horrific attendance due to family/medical issues (100% lab attendance, though...lol). We'll see how I manage to sell that "I swear, I'm really a genius but I didn't go to classes often" demeanor I have to a college for grad school.

    My talents lie in my quick-acquisition of knowledge and my ridiculous logical-analytical reasoning abilities. I plan on being a key member of a think-tank someday. lol

    Anyhow, enough blathering. Hello all.

    MM!

    Long time no see, where are you these days? Congrats on graduation (except I hope you were joking about eugenics ... ) and the ambitious career path.

    Don't forget humility as one of your talents...

      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
