we will retrospectively test the application of selected biomarkers in PDAC diagnosis, treatment evaluation and disease prognosis. As biomarkers could be in the form of genomic abnormalities or transcriptional aberrations, corresponding methods will be used for validation, which we have previously reported (118-120). The ultimate objective is to develop biomarker detection protocols for cost-effective and non-invasive detection of clinical PDAC in a highly sensitive and specific fashion. Genomic PCR will be tested extensively as a convenient and preferred tool for detecting biomarkers of genomic abnormalities. After confirmation on ex vivo expanded CTCs, optimal PCR settings will be established and tested for detection of CTCs directly from blood samples, first from the blood of mice…

testing, risk factors, and aiding in prevention. All of these factors influence healthcare and patients. Each person can find out if they are at risk for diseases, which can lead to preventative measures. For example, “tests have been developed to detect mutations for a handful of more complex conditions such as breast, ovarian, and colon cancers” (Human Genome Project and Beyond). This can influence a person’s life if they have family members with these genes by knowing what and how they can…

accordingly to target that specific mutation. The proliferation of bioinformatics and computational genomics plays a pivotal role in making this incentive effective. From extracting the raw data of DNA to understanding the genetic variations and clinical indication of these information, bioinformatics is leveraging these implications towards creating the personalized…

“Through my research I am trying to better understand differences between genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors for type 2 diabetes,” Flowers said. “I also look at how to optimize risk prediction and prevent type 2 diabetes for high risk racial groups.” Flowers lab is a mixture of a dry lab and a wet lab and she collaborates with other faculty members. One faculty member she collaborates with often is Kord Kober, PhD, who is another UCSF genomic laboratory lead. They both manage and…

The idea of using genomic analysis, as well as, the development of new drugs can help cure diseases is one of the new solution for health issues. We can convince people that these things are worth funding. Genomics analysis and new technology, such as mHealth, can benefit people’s health issues. If the development of these new ideas and technology can be the solution for any health issues. These can even change the way doctors practice medicine. By understanding the genomic sequences, doctors…

Myosin are a large superfamily of motor molecule which is move along cytoskeletal filaments and interact with actin filaments. That movement requires huge amount of hydrolysis ATP molecules to change the conformation. The genomic analysis thirteen different members of the myosin gene. In addition, the most present myosin type in all eukaryotic cells are: myosin I and myosin II. On the other hand, the less present type of myosin is myosin V. Also, myosin can be divided to two class; conventional…

Scientists and healthcare practitioners usually use the terms, genetics and genomics, interchangeably, but there are notable distinctions between the two areas of study. Genetics scrutinizes the functioning and composition of the single gene whereas genomics addresses all genes and their interrelationships to identify their combined influence in the growth and development of the organism (Beery & Workman, 2013). In the field of genomics, nurses can be involved in policy making, and adequate…

The fields of genetics and genomics have made significant strides in the past ten years, and researches are applying the results of research to many areas of health care. Because disease risk and health conditions are influenced by elements of environment, lifestyle, and genetics, the nurse needs to consider these factors when assessing families for genetic risks (Williams, Cashion, Shekar, & Ginsburg, 2016). The nurse uses the information gathered from a family health history to identify…

Genomics in Patient Assessment Subtopic and a Summary of the Journal Subtopic: How genomics affects nurse’s physical assessments Summary This journal article delves on genetic testing and the appliance of genomics in health care. Further, the article expounds on the various appliances of genetic testing and why it may result in better health outcomes (Badzek, Turner, Jenkins, 2008). For instance, through genetic testing, families can successfully evaluate the predisposing ailments in their…

What makes a human human? Humanity as a whole is very unique when compared with the species of the rest of the world. We have greatly advanced languages and communication techniques and advanced social structures. We have created money and used it as a means to trade with others across the globe. We have built massive structures that seem to graze the sky. We have created gods and weaponry to destroy each other in the blink of an eye. With the massive impact humanity has made on the world…
