Standard cancer detection tests are done with #tissuebiopsies.🧫
These are invasive, risky, and expensive as they require an endoscope and open surgery.
An alternative approach to this is Liquid Biopsy which is performed by drawing blood.🩸

Liquid biopsy is an innovative solution to #cancerdetection.
▪️They use a much smaller sample and have a quicker turnaround for results compared to tissue biopsies.
▪️They are more advantageous in detecting a metastasized tumor - when cancer has spread to multiple sites.

1/ When the messenger mRNA exits the nucleus, it will be loaded into a organelle called the ribosome. These little factories take the RNA blueprint and use it to build a protein.
2/ Here we introduce the concept of the Codon. The DNA is made up of 4 bases with Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. They have to encode 20 different amino acids. To do so, the DNA uses a codon. Its a combination of 3 nucleotides.

Using deep viral sequencing we identified low-frequency mutations in experimentally validated CD8 T cell epitopes of SARS-CoV-2, some of which were found as fixed mutations in global virus sequences from @GISAID. 2/7
Guided by binding predictions we selected epitopes and #mutants for further biochemical investigations by cell-free MHC-I binding assays. These analyses suggested that single amino acid changes impair binding to MHC-I molecules. 3/7

Many research papers as well as #RKI, Germany assert average start of symptoms for #COVID19 around 5th-6th day of infection and peak of infectiousness between 2 days before to 1 day after onset of symptoms.. 🧵1/. #2ndlevel #contacttracing #coronavirus
As thumbrule it takes 10-12 days for #lockdown to impact the spread of #COVID19, so duration between infection till confirmation is on avg. 10 days. This is reasonable as people would wait 1-2 days with symptoms, book a test appointment and get the results so 6+2+1+1=10 days 🧵2/
So if Person A gets infected with #COVID19 today, he will be reported as a confirmed case after 10 days. But he might have infected person B after 4 days. Person B might have infected person C after 4+4 = 8 days from today, or 2 days before person A is reported. 🧵3/

La #virulence est le mal qu’un parasite (virus, bactérie,...) fait à son hôte.
Dans le cas du #SARS-CoV-2, on peut la mesurer via le risque d’être hospitalisé ou de décéder. Sachant que cela dépend fortement de l’âge.

Contrairement à une idée répandue, les parasites n’évoluent pas tous pour rapidement devenir avirulents.
La #tuberculose est restée virulente.
Quand au #VIH, sa virulence semble même avoir #augmenté depuis les années 1980.

The new variants,which appear to be more adept at transmitting from one person to another, have given a bout of jitters to an already anxious world.While linked to the #UK and #SouthAfrica, the origin locations of these variants and just how far they have spread, remain unclear.

Our goal was to decide on the library size needed to sequence a cohort of ~90 in-house Leukaemia RNA-Seq samples to allow good sensitivity for both DE analyses and mutation calling.
We used publicly available deeply sequenced RNA-Seq samples (from Leucegene) from the same cancer type and called mutations using 6 methods (combinations of 3 popular callers and filtering methods).
We called mutations on the initial and randomly downsampled data.

Les visons sont, comme beaucoup de mammifères, infectés par le #SARSCoV2 avec des symptômes légers. Les élevages peuvent donc être un réservoir. Et, pour la grippe aviaire, l'homogénéité génétique des animaux d'élevage favorise les souches virulentes. 2/10
