COVID-19 is an ongoing, global pandemic caused by the novel, highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus. Efforts to dampen the effects of SARS-CoV-2, such as mass vaccination and development of monoclonal therapeutics, require precise measurements of correlative
Numerous technologies are currently in development as a next generation protein sequencing platform. Some published approaches make use of side-chain modification to add fluorescent labels and nucleotide tags. One of the challenges in this approach is
Advancements in sequencing technologies and assembly methods enable the regular production of high-quality genome assemblies characterizing complex regions. However, challenges remain in efficiently interpreting variation at various scales, from smaller
