“Like driving a car, to use a microscope, you do not need to know how it works, but you cannot troubleshoot issues if you do not understand the principles behind it.” Dr. Ru-ching Hsia emphasizes the importance of electron microscopy training in this article: https://bit.ly/45XsNvI #ultramicrotomy #CancerResearch #cryoEM

In collaboration with SEQC-II consortium members from FDA, National Cancer Institute (NCI), Illumina and other organizations, our Sequencing Facility Bioinformatics manager Yongmei Zhao contributed to benchmarking the performance of six of the most commonly used CNV calling software tools on their detection accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility. The study established a high confident CNV call set for the reference cancer cell line (HCC1395). With performance matrices on various experimental conditions, this study raises awareness within the cancer research community for the selection of sequencing platforms, sample preparation, sequencing coverage, and the choice of CNV detection tools.

Have you checked out this #CancerResearch resource? Our Cancer Imaging Informatics Laboratory oversees the Cancer Imaging Archive--TCIA. They diligently add new datasets and strive to increase the public availability of high-quality cancer imaging data sets for research. Be sure to frequently check it out for updates.
Check out the recently published "Histological Hyperspectral Glioblastoma Dataset (HistologyHSI-GB)" dataset on TCIA! It contains 13 H&E slides (20x magnification) from glioblastoma subjects which were annotated and used to create 469 hyperspectral images: https://lnkd.in/ezhyeafz Congrats to the authors: Samuel Ortega Sarmiento, Raquel León, Laura Quintana, Himar Fabelo, Gustavo Marrero Callico

Our scientists are collaborating on research aiming for a universal flu vaccine that doesn't need to be modified annually. New research in a very early step toward this goal focuses on neuraminidase, a less-studied essential protein on the surface of influenza viruses and one that is less prone to mutation. This makes it a potential target for vaccines that might provide universal protection from the flu, but only a handful of neuraminidase antibodies have been identified.
