Article Synopsis
  • Next-generation sequencing technology is being used to detect genetic variants in key regions related to cancer, which is important for personalized treatment.
  • The DEEPGEN assay was developed to improve the detection of low-frequency genetic variants in liquid biopsies, overcoming challenges related to background noise.
  • Testing showed that DEEPGEN can accurately identify variants as rare as 0.09% and demonstrated better sensitivity compared to existing liquid biopsy assays.

Elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide are a common stressor for fish and other aquatic animals. In particular, intensive aquaculture can impose prolonged periods of severe environmental hypercapnia, manifold exceeding CO concentrations of natural habitats. In order to cope with this stressor, gills are essential and constitute the primary organ in the acclimatization process.
