Alice Kan[email protected]SequencingSequencing seeks to stay ahead of new COVID-19 surgesSequencing has been an essential tool for the development of strategies and therapeutics in the fight against COVID-19, and sequencing-based rapid and high-throughput diagnostics for COVID-19 are in development. Sequencing technology suppliers are collaborating with researchers to develop sequencing-based diagnostic tools. For example, several groups are using Illumina's next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to develop ultrahigh-throughput COVID-19 diagnostic testing.June 7, 2020PCRVendors struggle to supply RNA extraction kits due to COVID-19SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 illness, encodes its genome in a single-stranded RNA. In vitro diagnostics of COVID-19 are done by quantitative PCR (qPCR), but first RNA must be extracted from a patient sample and reverse transcribed.May 10, 2020Page 1 of 1Top StoriesArtificial IntelligenceProscia launches pathology AI model toolkitProscia has launched Concentriq Embeddings for experimenting with multiple pathology artificial intelligence (AI) models in parallel.Emerging TechnologyCRISPR patent decisions could trigger waves globallyPathology and AIIbex survey indicates some comfort with AI in cancer diagnosticsPathology and AIPathologists detect microplastics in human brain tissueSponsor ContentBody composition in patients treated with Ozempic
