Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Area of Science:

Forensic Pathology
Molecular Biology
Radiology

Background:

Forensic pathology historically blends tradition with innovation to achieve scientific truth.
Advancements in radiology (3D post-mortem CT, MRI) and molecular biology are transforming the field.

Observation:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules with diverse biological functions.
MiRNAs have emerged as significant biomarkers in forensic science.

Findings:

MiRNAs are applicable in establishing time of death and assessing the vitality of skin lesions.
Their utility extends to cases involving head trauma and acute myocardial infarction.

Implications:

The integration of molecular biology techniques, particularly miRNAs, is poised to enhance accuracy in complex legal cases.
These innovations promise to further the pursuit of truth and scientific objectivity in forensic investigations.
