Next-generation transcriptomic analysis in cancer vascular research
3 September 2015 | By Joseph W. Wragg and Roy Bicknell, University of Birmingham
Over the past decade significant advances have been made in the fields of genomic and transcriptomic profiling, inspired by the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Yet despite the considerable promise of these new technologies, uptake has been slow. The focus of this review is the use of next-generation transcriptomic analysis…

Understanding early mouse embryonic development using single-cell mRNA Sequencing
3 July 2014 | By René Dirks and Hendrik Marks, Department of Molecular Biology, Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS)
Biomedical research often involves the use of cell lines that can be cultured in a laboratory. Individual cells within such cell lines often share a similar morphology. A remarkable exception are in vitro cultured mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (mESCs) – pluripotent cells derived from the blastocyst stage of the mouse…

Next generation sequencing: Using RNAseq to identify anti-cancer targets in the tumour vasculature
15 December 2013 | By Klarke M. Sample and Roy Bicknell, University of Birmingham
It is possible to attack the vasculature within solid tumours and achieve an anti-cancer effect. In the last decade, a number of studies have utilised cDNA libraries, SAGE analysis and microarrays to identify potential drug targets in the tumour endothelium. Modern sequencing technologies are likely to be a far more…
