At the intersection of dentistry, bioinformatics, and preventive healthcare, Crown Biome is pioneering new ways to harness the microbiome for better health outcomes. However, Founder & CEO, Bryan Toton, didn’t take the typical path to entrepreneurship. A lifelong dream of becoming an orthodontist led to studies in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Human Biology at [...] The post Startup Spotlight – Crown Biome Shows Us That Every Venture Needs Bite & Guts appeared first on RIoT.| RIoT

In a previous post, we discussed how RNA-seq provides measurements of relative expression between genes rather than measurements of absolute expression. In this post, we will discuss median-ratio normalization: a procedure that attempts to scale each sample’s read counts so that differences in the read counts between samples better reflects differences in absolute expression. We will start by describing the underlying assumption that must be met for median-ratio normalization to work and th...| Matthew N. Bernstein

The Great Salt Lake in Salt Lake City, Utah isn’t just one of the most well-known ecological features in America and one of the largest lakes on the planet. Like all lakes, it is also teeming with viruses that are not harmful to humans and only infect microbes, and instead play pivotal roles in maintaining the massive amount of biological diversity that calls the lake home. The post NASA-funded CCI Research Quantifies Weight of All Viruses in the Great Salt Lake with Novel Technique appeare...| North Carolina Research Campus

Let’s try to get a brief overview of what UMLS is, and then we’ll jump into more details. So, in simple terms, UMLS is a collection of many controlled biomedical vocabularies to provide cross-walk among them and to enable interaction between computer systems. To simplify it further, there are multiple biomedical vocabularies out there developed by different organizations. Each of them has come up with their own set of IDs assigned to each term. UMLS helps in mapping each of them to one co...| ChemicBook
