- by /u/JizzJazz09Hi, I am working on an M.Phil research project focused on studying a marker mutation in urothelial carcinoma using Sanger sequencing. My supervisor mentioned that the sample size for this study would be 12. However, I’m struggling to understand how this specific number (12) was determined instead of, say, 10 or 14. Could you guide me on how to calculate the sample size for studies like this? submitted by /u/JizzJazz09 [link] [comments]
- by /u/ObearserkI am about to enter my last semester in a bachelor's degree in genomic sciences, and I can't really decide which major is best for me. I do like research, but I am not really sure I want to pursue a career solely on research. I know I'd like to be able to work on the private sector and something related to treatment of rare diseases, I am not too keen on genetic counselling. I am mostly afraid of getting into a major that focuses on teaching the molecular/computing basics that I've already learned to people who come from other […]
- by /u/money_mike_moonRecent Developments: Bolt Metals Corp. (CSE: BOLT), a Canadian mining company focused on critical mineral resources, has been making waves with its latest advancements: Positioned for Opportunity Amid China’s Export Ban: Following China’s December 10, 2024, decision to halt critical mineral exports, Bolt Metals is well-positioned as a key alternative supplier, benefiting from rising global demand. Northwind Property Acquisition: On December 4, 2024, the company secured the Northwind Property in the Urban-Barry Gold Camp, just 15 km from the Windfall Deposit. This strategic acquisition bolsters its portfolio and strengthens its presence in a highly lucrative mining zone. These positive catalysts […]
- by /u/FreeTheWeedsWe aim to sequence, assemble, and annotate the genome of a new mammal species. Argue what strategies/techniques/software you would choose to use in this project. Describe the workflow stages and the expected results of the project, and create a graphical workflow of the experiment. The premise is that the entire necessary infrastructure is available for carrying out this scientific endeavor. submitted by /u/FreeTheWeeds [link] [comments]

- by /u/beepboop8525I don't know much about genetic testing or sequencing but I have a whole host of chronic, complex, and serious health conditions that could or do have a genetic component. I think that genetic testing or sequencing could potentially help guide further diagnostics, preventative care, and treatment. However, I have a ton of concerns about my genetic data being stolen, or being subjected to discrimination/eugenics on the basis of my genes. So, I'm wondering a few things: -What kinds of services might be the best fit for my needs and concerns, and what kind of price range are these? -I'm […]
- by /u/FunnyBunnyDollyI’ve done genome sequencing through Dantelabs, however I opted out from buying their reports. I used to use Promethease but now their service isn’t responding anymore I’m on lookout for other services. Geneticgenie has some good free options. Great free methylation panel. I want to learn more, though. I tried to join Sequencer but it is limited in the free option, and the browser is just glorified excel browser in free option. I saw people complain over difficulty to break subscription so I’m feeling nope. Then I found Mynucleus. Which has affordable yearly subscribe. But the problem is that they […]

- The whole lab is closing and so as the sales team of BGI Health AU. The reasons are including economic downturn and ongoing loses. The director is wrong doing on several important strategic decisions. Also the director has conflicts of interest with her partner who is in charge of the finance and working under her, as being in a secret relationship. [link] [comments]
- by /u/nina_becHi everyone, I'm new to bioinformatics and currently working on a project where I need to use fastp. I want to go beyond just running the basic command—I’d like to adjust parameters to filter my data effectively and retain only the highest-quality data. Since I’ve never used fastp before, I was wondering if anyone could recommend helpful resources, tutorials, or example workflows for getting started with it? Any tips or best practices for customizing fastp parameters would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help! submitted by /u/nina_bec [link] [comments]
- by /u/knifeonmenowAt the nos3 gene according to my tesr i likely have lower NOS3 activity For example the rs1799983 i have TT genotype And rs2070744 CC genotype. Im afraid this will make me have cardiovascular problems and high blood pressure. Anyone know more than me that can explain if this is a big deal or nothing to worry about. submitted by /u/knifeonmenow [link] [comments]
- by /u/mshaverI had sequencing done by Nebula, but didn't download my files. It appears now that I'm out of luck. I tried importing it with sequencing.com, but it failed. I have an appointment with a geneticist at Johns Hopkins on February 3rd, and I'd love to have my data available for that meeting (I likely have CMT disease and am seeking to better understand my prognosis and options). Should I just have it redone at sequencing.com? For about $1300 they promise 2-3 week turnaround… What do you folks think? Any other options to consider? submitted by /u/mshaver [link] [comments]
