Genomic Technologies for Biomarker Discovery
Biomarkers can be classified into two major groups, disease-related and drug-related biomarkers. Disease-related biomarkers are very helpful for clinical stratification, identification of patients within the general population, disease staging, and evaluation of the likely outcome of disease. In contrast,drug-related biomarkers are biological or clinical characteristics that provide valuable information on prognosis and survival after therapeutic intervention. Such predictive factors can be employed to identify subgroups of patients who are most likely to respond to a given treatment, to create a treatment plan, and to assess the efficacy, adverse reactions, and complications of therapy. An ideal biomarker should be easily, specifically, stably, and inexpensively measured in a noninvasive or minimally invasive way with high analytical specificity and sensitivity. https://www.cd-genomics.com/chip-seq.html

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify small segments of DNA. It is a powerful tool used in molecular biology and biotechnology to create many copies of a specific DNA sequence in order to study it.
***BASIC STEPS
Denaturation: The double-stranded DNA is heated to a high temperature to separate the two strands
Annealing: The temperature is lowered to allow specific primers to bind to the target sequence
Extension: The temperature is raised again to allow a DNA polymerase to extend the primers, creating a new strand of DNA complementary to the original strand
Repeat: These three steps are repeated many times to produce many copies of the target sequence

The system aims to reduce treatment costs and prevent disease spread by enabling early detection, helping farmers comply with new regulations limiting antibiotic use. A prototype device has been created and the team plans future testing and refinement on farms.
Bacteria Busters
The document discusses the issue of antibiotic resistance caused by the introduction of antibiotics into aquatic environments through aquaculture. Approximately 50% of consumed antibiotics are directly released into water systems, as antibiotics are routinely added to fish farms to prevent disease and promote growth. This leads to antibiotic residues in farmed fish and the spread of antibiotics through the local environment. Many of the antibiotics used in aquaculture are also important for human medicine. While stopping antibiotic use and increased regulation could help, antibiotic resistance genes still spread through water. Therefore, innovative water treatment is needed to remove antibiotics, such as using Moringa oleifera seeds, which contain proteins that naturally bind antibiotics and can be filtered out. A prototype device using cyclone filtration powered by
Phage4Life
- The team developed a reproducible biochemical analysis approach for phage genome sequencing using a portable DNA sequencer called the MinION to make the approach affordable and accessible. They successfully tested their approach by sequencing a mono-phage sample from Ukraine and discovered a new phage genome.
- Moving forward, they plan to engage students through school projects using their approach, conduct mobile phage sequencing labs in rural areas using the portability of their method, and develop an online phage database to accelerate phage research.
Cofight19
This document summarizes a solution to address bottlenecks in diagnostic testing labs due to shortages and high costs of plastic consumables caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed solution involves 3D printing consumables like pipette tips, tubes, and swabs using a decentralized network of printing stations to produce the materials on-site. This eliminates dependencies on suppliers and provides stable pricing. The document outlines the automated printing and sterilization process and describes partnerships to pilot the solution in Ghana. It argues the approach outperforms competitors by ensuring fast availability of consumables at predictable low costs.
Avocado Overview
This document outlines a tech challenge to cultivate and clone avocado plants using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques. It notes that the avocado market is growing significantly each year due to high demand, but that current propagation and sustainability practices can be improved. The challenge aims to teach students to clone avocado plants and provide the resulting clones to an urban collaboration space to serve as decorative tropical plants.
Avocado Deep Dive
This document discusses opportunities for innovating the avocado industry through biological techniques. It describes avocados' popularity and cultivation challenges. Propagation is currently done through grafting, but the document proposes cloning avocado plants in the lab to address issues like limited cold hardiness. Genome sequencing could aid breeding programs to develop desirable traits more quickly. The document also suggests solutions like cultivating avocados sustainably in European greenhouses to meet growing demand. With biological solutions, the resulting avocado plants could serve as decorative office plants.
