Researchers publish findings on use of a more human-like cell culture medium to explore gene essentiality
The Jason Cantor Lab at Morgridge is utilizing a new cell culture medium to ask how critical genes are to the survival and reproduction of human cells under different growth conditions. The technique could have important ramifications for the treatment of human diseases.
Unraveling the network of molecules that influence COVID-19 severity
Researchers have identified more than 200 molecular features that strongly correlate with COVID-19 severity.
Multi-omic data and interactive web tool made publicly available to aid COVID-19 research
Why is it that some COVID-19 patients become extremely ill and die, while others experience only mild symptoms? A new study uses mass spectrometry, RNA sequencing, and machine learning to explore the molecular traits that might influence the severity of the disease.
