Primer design for 3' end of polyadenylated transcripts for targeted RNA seq, in bulk, single-cell, or spatial mode. New from OncoRNALab at @crighent.bsky.social

Blood (literally and figuratively), sweat, and tears... rejection after 3 rounds of revisions by another journal, but now out. We are proud of this new type of biomarker identification concept - applied here on cell-free RNA from cancer patients @amorlion.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

The model of harmonizing general and domain-specific guidelines provides a scalable blueprint for improving reproducibility across complex biomarker development workflows in molecular diagnostics. The case for EV and qPCR www.oaepublish.com/articles/evc...

Are you also a desperate cell-free RNA researcher? It’s not always a grim story. Philippe Decruyenaere is defending his excellent PhD thesis on extracellular RNA in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. @crighent.bsky.social

"Eindelijk beeld bij het verhaal van onze genen" Dit artikeltje wou ik toch even delen. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek helder uitleggen is niet makkelijk, en toch is het belangrijk. Hier legt Hanne, een doctoraal onderzoeker in ons OncoRNALab (@crighent.bsky.social @ds-ugent.bsky.social) ...

7 years in the making... 1.6 liters of blood and 11 billion sequencing reads to compare 456 extracellular transcriptomes. Our best practices for blood plasma extracellular RNA profiling have been published as a peer-reviewed article. communities.springernature.com/posts/the-ro...

After 16 years, an update of the qPCR #MIQE guidelines is out on how to design, execute, analyze, and report on #qPCR experiments doi.org/10.1093/clin.... The original paper from 2009 accumulated 17,000 citations (scholar.google.be/citations?vi...). @genequan.bsky.social @jimhuggett.bsky.social

Ik heb zopas de resulaten doorgestuurd van de waterkwaliteit in de Tichelbeek t.h.v. de Brandstraat in Zulte, als deel van het grootste burgeronderzoek ooit. Ben je ook benieuwd naar de resultaten? Neem dan een kijkje op www.watermonsters.be. Vanaf 7 juni zijn alle resultaten gekend. #watermonsters

Ever wondered what RNA in your body fluids can reveal about your health? 🤔 Eva Hulstaert took on the challenge, collecting and analyzing various biofluids to uncover hidden insights. 👩‍🔬 Anneleen Decock & I share the story of this fascinating quest in EOS Wetenschap (in Dutch): tinyurl.com/4ev7vk83

Did you know that our body contains dozens of different biofluids (like blood, sweat, urine, saliva, ...) and that these give insights into our health? OncoRNALab members @amorlion.bsky.social and Anneleen Decock wrote a fascinating story (in Dutch) in the science magazine Eos - lnkd.in/ern_2kDW
