High-throughput sequencing in vaccine research

High-throughput sequencing technologies.

The human genome sequence has profoundly altered our understanding of biology, human diversity, and disease. The path from the first draft sequence to our nascent era of personal genomes and genomic medicine has been made possible only because of the extraordinary advancements in DNA sequencing technologies over the past 10 years. Here, we discuss commonly used high-throughput sequencing platfo...

SnapShot: High-Throughput Sequencing Applications

Recent Advances in High Throughput Sequencing Analysis

High-throughput genomic technology has enabled us to screen the entire genome and generate hypotheses at relatively low costs. One of the driving forces in highthroughput genomic technology is high-throughput sequencing (HTS).With its rapid development and affordability, HTS has quickly become the go-to choice for interrogating the entire genome. The analysis methodology development for HTS has...

Reverse Engineering of Vaccine Antigens Using High Throughput Sequencing-enhanced mRNA Display

UNLABELLED Vaccine reverse engineering is emerging as an important approach to vaccine antigen identification, recently focusing mainly on structural characterization of interactions between neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and antigens. Using mAbs that bind unknown antigen structures, we sought to probe the intrinsic features of antibody antigen-binding sites with a high complexity pe...

High-Throughput Microdissection for Next-Generation Sequencing

Precision medicine promises to enhance patient treatment through the use of emerging molecular technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. However, current tools in surgical pathology lack the capability to efficiently isolate specific cell populations in complex tissues/tumors, which can confound molecular results. Expression microdissection (xMD) is an immuno-based cell...
