As a step towards personalized cancer medicine, our goal was to develop a high-throughput genetic profiling platform to rapidly query resection or biopsy specimens for relevant genetic changes in a time and cost-effective manner, and to help direct the administration of available targeted therapies.
This issue could be particularly relevant for specimens close to the contact zone of the two N. anomalus lineages (i.e., those from northeastern Iberia).
The results demonstrate that MGS of insect specimen pools extracts data relevant for phylogenomics, ecology or simply to explore the black box of arthropod genome evolution through their multicopy and most conserved elements.
The availability of simple sampling and stabilized transport options is relevant for collection of clinical specimens at remote (rural) health centers [59].
This is particularly relevant for rare human and animal specimens, often scarce, and/or irreplaceable.
The optimized coating was selected for deposition of axial fatigue tests specimens, whose fatigue performance was compared to the uncoated steel specimens having different surface treatments (turning, polishing, and shot blasting) relevant for the target applications.
Use of this approach is especially relevant for cases where no clinical tissue specimens are available for immunohistochemical or similar analyses.
A large repository of diverse specimens from HIV-positive patients was established, multiple assays were run on 2500 selected specimens, and data were analyzed to estimate assay characteristics relevant for incidence surveillance.
This finding might be relevant for retrospective studies of tonsillectomy or appendectomy specimens, because the time point of infection in humans with PrPres-positive biopsy specimens is not known.
Similarly to museum specimens, samples from captive sources are often incorrectly classified and this problem is particularly relevant for lesser galagos, the taxa most commonly found in captivity.
