This chapter will discuss approaches currently in use for targeted NGS in clinical oncology (amplification-based, solid- or in-solution hybrid-capture-based) and focus on targeted sequencing by in-solution hybrid-capture.
Because of their potential use for targeted gene manipulation, isolation of ESCs in livestock may overcome current limitations upon efficient gene transfer by providing an abundance of pluripotent stem cells to be genetically manipulated through the use of conventional recombinant DNA techniques.
It might be used for identifying individuals especially at risk for increasing cannabis use for targeted interventions.
Being several hundred times more potent than doxorubicin, it is therefore an ideal candidate to use for targeted chemotherapy.
