In chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the reliability of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect variants ≤10% allelic frequency (low-VAF) is debated. We tested the ability to detect 23 such variants in 41 different laboratories using their NGS method of choice. The sensitivity was 85.

The functionality of these two types of channels has also been shown to be altered by epileptic disorders.

In neuronal ensembles recording during calcium imaging experiments, the output of instruments such as Celena X, Zeiss LSM 5 Live confocal microscope and Miniscope is a movie showing flashing cells somata. There are few pipelines to convert video to relative fluorescence ΔF/F, from simplest ImageJ plugins to sophisticated tools like MiniAn (Dong et al.
