Valid biomarker signatures from liquid biopsies – how to standardise NGS

6 December 2016 | By , ,

The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques has revolutionised transcriptomics research and opened numerous avenues for scientific and clinical applications. While reverse transcriptase quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is still considered the gold standard of gene expression analysis, its high throughput, single-nucleotide resolution and ever-plummeting costs have made NGS…

HTS assays for the identification of small-molecule inhibitors of deubiquitinating enzymes

4 December 2016 | By , ,

The covalent modification of proteins by the attachment of ubiquitin (ubiquitination) is best known for its function to label proteins for proteasomal degradation. However, ubiquitination also plays non-proteasomal roles during signal transduction, DNA repair and protein sorting...
