The COVID-19 crisis has had a slightly negative, but not critical, impact on the market for companion diagnostics, according to a new market report from market research firm Kalorama Information. Discuss
A new graphical user interface-driven, machine learning-based approach has successfully identified antimicrobial resistance genes for gram-positive and -negative bacteria. This work, presented in Scientific Reports on July 3, may make it easier to identify deadly antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Discuss
A SARS-CoV-2 variant carrying an amino acid change, D614G, in the spike protein has become the predominant form of the virus in the current global pandemic. A recent publication in Cell advocated for viral surveillance to aid in the development of immunological interventions. Discuss
Strategically folded DNA arranged to mimic viral antigens -- known as DNA "origami" -- may produce strong immune responses, according to a June 29 report in Nature Nanotechnology. Researchers are now working on adapting this approach for the development of a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. Discuss
Computer-based tools are helping researchers find potentially promising candidates for vaccines and treatments for SARS-CoV-2 -- and much more quickly than traditional approaches. Many of these software tools are described in an article published June 24 in Science Advances. Discuss
The pathway to discovering and developing cancer therapies is not always linear, but well-designed models incorporating smart chemical innovations can provide elegant solutions to treatments for some of the most difficult cancers. Some of these efforts were shared on June 22 during the American Association for Cancer Research 2020 virtual annual meeting II. Discuss
Researchers advocated for increased genomic surveillance in younger adult cancer patients with tumors that typically strike later in life, in a study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 2020 virtual meeting, held June 22 to 24. Discuss
From the use of novel technologies such as machine learning and CRISPR, to gaining a deeper understanding of the genetic and molecular drivers of cancer, researchers from around the globe shared their progress with the cancer research community on June 22 at the opening plenary session of the American Association for Cancer Research 2020 virtual annual meeting II. Discuss
Certain types of RNA viruses may be capable of using host RNA to expand their own genetic repertoire, according to a new study published in Cell on June 18. This mechanism may enable viruses to overcome the limitations of small genomes and more effectively infect host cells. Discuss
What makes the SARS-CoV-2 virus so virulent? Researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) analyzed the genomics of the virus -- and compared it to other coronaviruses -- in a June 10 article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Discuss
