Next generation sequencing & microarray-- Genotypic TechnologyGenotypic Technology
Greetings from Genotypic Technology, Bangalore (www.genotypic.co.in). We are a 13 year old genomics and bioinformatics company ( 65+ employees, Service. Products and R & D) based in Bangalore, India, primarily working on applications of Microarrays and Next Generation Sequencing in Human Health and Disease, including in Molecular Diagnostics, Prognosis, Therapeutics, Vaccine Research, Basic Science Research, Veterinary Science, Agriculture, Industrial Biotechnology, Microbial Genetics and more.
Our major strength is in customized genomics solutions, particularly in your field, we can develop panel of markers for specific diseases, optimize, validate and help commercialize on open platforms or specific instrument platforms- in microarrays and sequencing based methods/ assays. We can also use genomic markers to aid in treatment of specific disease using personalized medicine approaches. All this can be done on a comprehensive end-to-end manner in our company as we have a very good blend of molecular biology and bioinformatics with totally 6 Ph.Ds. We work closely with Agilent's R &D as their partner.
The document summarizes the work of the Genome in a Bottle Consortium to develop reference materials for benchmarking human structural variant calls. The Consortium has characterized structural variants over 50 base pairs in size across five human genomes using multiple long-read and linked-read sequencing technologies. The characterized variants are released as benchmark sets to evaluate the accuracy of different sequencing technologies in detecting structural variants. Ongoing work includes improving benchmarks for complex variants and collaborating to characterize more difficult genomic regions.
Recombinant adenoviruses provide a versatile system for gene expression studies and therapeutic applications in mammalian cells. There is no question that the adenovirus is the most effective means of delivering genes in vivo and in vitro. However construction of adenovirus vectors and virus packaging is time-consuming and labor intensive.
The document discusses challenges in computational genotyping of structural variations for clinical diagnosis. It describes assessing accuracy of structural variation calls, challenges in functional interpretation, and how to call structural variations in routine scans. It also discusses using simulated and benchmark data to evaluate structural variation genotypers and their ability to sensitively and precisely genotype deletions. A new graph-based genotyper called Paragraph is highlighted for its ability to genotype multiple structural variation types with high accuracy based on benchmarking.
El documento ofrece consejos sobre qué hacer antes, durante y después de un terremoto. Antes de un terremoto, se recomienda identificar las zonas seguras del hogar y almacenar suministros. Durante un terremoto, se aconseja ubicarse en zonas seguras dentro de la habitación y evitar correr. Después del terremoto, se sugiere dar información sobre familiares desaparecidos y ayudar a quienes lo necesiten.
Los terremotos son sacudidas bruscas y pasajeras de la corteza terrestre producidas por la liberación de energía acumulada en forma de ondas sísmicas, que comúnmente se producen por la ruptura de fallas geológicas, aunque también pueden ocurrir por fricción entre placas tectónicas, acumulación de sedimentos, hundimiento de cavernas, o cambios en la presión atmosférica.

The toolkit includes a comparison architecture that analyzes variants, identifies real variants by summarizing metrics, and scales to large numbers of variants and samples. It also describes building analysis pipelines in Clojure and providing comparison results through a web interface with metrics. The goal is to help answer biological questions by determining true variants and prioritizing based on existing evidence.
What's mine is yours (and vice versa) Data sharing in vibrational spectroscopyAlex Henderson
Presentation given at SPEC 2014, Krakow, Poland. 17-22 August 2014
[some slides do not display correctly, download the pdf for better quality]
In our day-to-day practice we collect data, convert this to information, hopefully extract knowledge, and then pass this on to our peers, thereby advancing the global understanding of our field. This is a very linear process. What if we were to share our data? Have others take our information and combine it with their own? Such a branched process would likely result in more rapid discoveries and, potentially, a greater understanding. In order to facilitate data sharing we must define at least two interfaces with our peers;
1. A mechanism of them understanding the language of our data
2. A mechanism of passing on the context of our experiment
Of course, both of these must work in reverse; we must understand their data and also their experimental context. These are separate yet related ideas. Our data are meaningless without context, but because we are ‘close to the action’ we do not explicitly document them.
Recording the nature of our experiments can have benefits closer to home. Too often we find ourselves searching for results that we know we recorded, but have difficulty locating. Then there is the issue of recalling the exact experimental procedure involved in the sample preparation or data reduction. Documentation of these will lead to better laboratory practice all round.
Earlier this year, a network of academic, clinical and industrial groups was constituted in the UK, with some international partners, to consider how best to push forward the use of infrared and Raman spectroscopies in the clinical arena: CLIRSPEC [1]. One of the work packages of the CLIRSPEC network is the development of standard protocols for data sharing. The work package falls, initially, into two parts;
1. How to easily and uniformly transfer our data between research teams and, by association, into an accessible archive.
2. How to record the provenance of our samples, the treatments they undergo, the experiments performed on them and the manner the resulting data was manipulated: the metadata.
In this presentation we will outline the current position of the CLIRSPEC work package, both in terms of the performance of various candidate data formats (JCAMP-DX, SPC, netCDF, …), and the options for the recording of the metadata associated with the experimental procedure (controlled vocabularies, XML, RDF, ISA-TAB, …). Included here is the concept of a minimum reporting requirement for IR and Raman, particularly in the clinical arena, that we can all try to meet.
None of this can happen without the buy-in of the community. We seek to engage everyone in a dialogue that will result in more consistent, and hopefully better, practice across all laboratories to further our understanding of clinical vibrational spectroscopy.

In summary, the document presents Qiagen's GeneRead DNAseq and Library Quant systems as targeted enrichment and library quantification solutions for next generation sequencing applications.
Using VarSeq to Improve Variant Analysis Research WorkflowsDelaina Hawkins
Many questions must be answered when analyzing DNA sequence variants: How do I determine which variants are potentially deleterious? Is the sequencing quality sufficient? How do I prioritize the results? Which annotation sources may help answer my research question?
In this webinar presentation, we will review workflow strategies for quality control and analysis of DNA sequence variants using the VarSeq software package from Golden Helix. VarSeq is a powerful platform for analysis of DNA sequence variants in clinical and translational research settings. VarSeq provides researchers with easy access to curated public databases of variant annotation information, and also enables users to incorporate their own local databases or downloaded information about variants and genomic regions.
The presentation will include interactive demonstrations using VarSeq to analyze variants found by exome sequencing of an extended family with a complex disease. We will review strategies for assessing variant quality, applying genomic annotations, incorporating custom annotation sources, and creating variant filters in VarSeq. We will also demonstrate the PhoRank gene ranking algorithm and its application for prioritizing variants.

It has established next generation sequencing, bioinformatics, and cell imaging platforms to overcome limitations in Italian research facilities. The project has over 70 participating labs organized into 8 subprojects. It has already produced over 1.5 trillion bases of sequencing data through its sequencing center and established databases and analysis pipelines through its bioinformatics platform to enable collaborative epigenomics research.
Analyzing Fusion Genes Using Next-Generation SequencingQIAGEN
Fusion genes are hybrid genes formed by the fusion of two separate genes. Translocation, interstitial deletion and chromosomal inversions are some of the genetic events that can lead to the formation of fusion genes. The occurrence of fusion genes and its implications in cancer have already been known, but the emergence of NGS technology – especially RNA sequencing – offers the potential to detect novel gene fusions. You can learn more about fusion genes and applying NGS to detect them at our upcoming webinar, presented by Raed Samara, Ph.D., QIAGEN’s Global Product Manager for NGS technologies.
In this webinar, Dr. Raed Samara will cover:
1. Fusion genes: what they are and a historical perspective
2. Fusion gene detection: the current status
3. RNA sequencing vs. digital RNA sequencing
4. How to detect and accurately quantify novel fusion genes in your sample
The document discusses research issues in virus analysis. It summarizes the antivirus detection process, malware analysis process, and research issues in antivirus labs and on desktops.

The document also provides an overview of the current state of antivirus technologies like heuristics, signature updates, and efforts toward automation in antivirus labs.
This document discusses opportunities and constraints related to DNA sequencing and analysis. It describes how DNA sequencing is used in academic research, oncology, gene therapy, developing genetically modified organisms, clinical diagnosis, forensics, and pedigree analysis. It also outlines some of the agencies and databases involved and how the capability and cost of sequencing has grown exponentially over time. Finally, it discusses some of the practical constraints in analyzing large DNA sequence data, including reading frames, exons/introns, errors, and the significance of non-coding DNA.
This document summarizes a webinar about building custom gene expression analysis panels. It introduces the GNC Pro software for pathway analysis and systems biology. The webinar discusses starting with a seed gene list, expanding the list using interactome data from multiple sources, performing quality control checks, and finalizing the custom gene list. It provides examples of using the process for disease states and pathways. The goal is to help researchers develop the best possible gene list to analyze for their specific biology of interest.
This document discusses the Genome in a Bottle Consortium's efforts to develop reference materials and standards to validate next generation sequencing assays. It provides an overview of the consortium's goals to generate reference genomes with highly confident variant calls and accompanying data to allow labs to compare results and assess false positives and false negatives. The document describes some examples of how labs are using the consortium's data on the NA12878 genome to benchmark sequencing platforms and bioinformatics workflows.
The document discusses using NCBI databases to design quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays. It describes several NCBI tools that can be used:
1) The NCBI Nucleotide and Gene databases to obtain sequence information for the gene of interest.
2) NCBI BLAST to perform sequence searches and check primer specificity against relevant databases.
3) NCBI dbSNP to search for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the primer binding sites that could affect assay performance.
The document provides guidance on how to use these NCBI tools at various steps of the qPCR assay design process.

The document compares different assembly algorithms for constructing transcripts from RNA-seq data: Butterfly, PASA, and CuffLinks. It analyzes eight assemblies that vary the algorithm and use of digital normalization. Butterfly produced the most transcripts while PASA and CuffLinks were more conservative. PASA and CuffLinks assemblies were more robust to digital normalization. The document proposes additional statistical analyses and using an expectation-maximization algorithm to discern isoforms.
The document discusses three algorithms for reconstructing transcripts from RNA-Seq data that are available in the Trinity RNA-Seq package: Butterfly, PASA, and Cufflinks. Butterfly aims to enumerate all plausible transcripts supported by reads, PASA finds the largest assembly containing each alignment, and Cufflinks identifies the minimal set of transcripts needed to explain the read mappings. The presentation will next compare results from running Trinity with these three algorithms on two different RNA-Seq datasets.
The document summarizes Daniel Standage's analysis of differential gene expression in the paper wasp Polistes dominula. He performed locus-level differential expression analysis after isoform-level analysis proved unreliable. The genome contains 18,675 intervals (iLoci) partitioned by gene content. Initial analysis found 295 differentially expressed iLoci but sample grouping was problematic. After filtering iLoci by read counts and re-running the analysis without a problematic sample, 314 differentially expressed iLoci were identified, mostly over-expressed in workers. Cytochrome P450 and NADH dehydrogenase genes were frequently differentially expressed.
The document discusses cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes that were found in the genome of the paper wasp Polistes dominula. CYP genes encode oxidation enzymes and play important roles in insects, including metabolizing exogenous compounds and regulating endogenous compounds like juvenile hormone and ecdysone. The analysis of P. dominula found many differentially expressed CYP genes. CYP genes have been associated with caste determination in other social insects through their links to juvenile hormone.
This document discusses RSEM, a tool for accurate transcript quantification from RNA-seq data. RSEM uses expectation maximization to estimate transcript expression levels without requiring a reference genome. It handles multireads better than other tools by either discarding, rescuing, or estimating maximum likelihood expression levels. Evaluation on simulated data showed RSEM had higher accuracy than other tools like Cufflinks and rQuant.
The document describes a study that analyzed differential gene expression between queen and worker castes of the paper wasp Polistes dominula. 12 samples (6 queens and 6 workers) were collected from different colonies. Initial analysis found thousands of differentially expressed transcripts but permutation testing showed this was likely due to noise. Additional filtering reduced the number of transcripts and samples analyzed. The top differentially expressed transcripts were presented, with one transcript showing a fold change of 126 between castes.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
