The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies for HLA and KIR
genotyping is rapidly advancing knowledge of genetic variation of these highly polymorphic loci. …

Background Stool-based molecular tests hold large potential for improving colorectal cancer
screening. Here, we investigated the analytical sensitivity of a DNA methylation assay on …

Aim Nanopore sequencing is one of the latest DNA sequencing technologies, in which single
molecules are sequenced directly. It offers the potential of read lengths of tens of kilobases…

The 17th International HLA and Immunogenetics Workshop (IHIW) organizers conducted a
Pilot Study (PS) in which 13 laboratories (15 groups) participated to assess the performance …

Aim Sequencing Based Typing (SBT) is the gold standard for high resolution typing, as the
technique analyses the actual DNA sequence of the relevant HLA regions. However, Sanger …

At the nonpermissive temperature, somatic embryos of the temperature‐sensitive (ts) carrot (Daucus
carota L.) cell variant ts11 only proceed beyond the globular embryo stage in the …

The objective of this retrospective cohort study is to assess the mechanism by which human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) influences hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in …

Aim Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIRs) are encoded by 17 genes in the
Leukocyte Receptor Complex (LRC). These genes are highly polymorphic, on the level of …

Purpose: Advanced prostate cancer represents a heterogeneous disease entity with differences
in clinical behavior, response to therapy, and survival. We assessed whether we could …

Purpose: We examined whether RNA expression of CD133, a surface molecule expressed
on progenitors from hematopoietic and endothelial lineages, and CD146, a pan-endothelial …
