READ MORE"Randomized olfactory tests to rank samples from no smell to extremely strong smell." Fecal samples can offer insight into the gut microbiome and various diseases. Unfortunately, fecal samples can emit a strong and unpleasantly foul odor, which may be challenging to work with. Mawi DNA Technologies conducted…
READ MOREAlternative to Blood Samples For Cancer Patients
Immunocompromised patients are often subjected to blood testing at a weekly or biweekly schedule to monitor treatment and health screenings. Mawi understands that these patients may be weary of constant visits to a hospital or clinic due to exposure of potential pathogens. We offer an…
READ MORELooking to Improve Your Success Rate Downstream for DNA Sequencing
When it comes to whole genome sequencing (WGS), customers are reporting a success rate of greater than 95% when utilizing Mawi DNA’s iSWAB-DNA sample collection devices. Here’s what’s different and why it matters. Bacterial DNA in WGS leads to reduced sequencing coverage, false positive variations, bias…
READ MORE4 vs. 1 Achieve More With Less
Mawi’s iSWAB-DNA was used to collect saliva samples from parents and children for Whole Exome Sequencing. Two take away messages from this paper: We enable whole exome sequencing One iSWAB sample collection (iSWAB-DNA-250) vs. Four of DNA Genotek (OGR-175, OGR-500, OGR-525, and OGR-57) View Protocol
READ MOREWhy do we give so much blood?
Almost everyone has provided a blood sample at a certain point of life, but ever wondered why so many tubes? How Blood Samples Are Taken Using current analytical technologies, several health indicators/analytes can only be obtained from blood and therefore giving a blood sample is…
READ MOREDe Novo SIX1 Variant and Nonsyndromic Cochleovestibular Nerve Abnormality
Abstract Background: Childhood hearing impairment affects language and cognitive development. Profound congenital sensorineural hearing impairment can be due to an abnormal cochleovestibular nerve (CVN) and cochleovestibular malformations, however, the etiology of these conditions remains unclear. Methods: We used a trio‐based exome sequencing approach to unravel…

Article Abstract Recent studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) have resulted in conflicting conclusions regarding the comorbidity of these disorders on phenotypic grounds. In a nuclear family with two dually affected and one unaffected offspring, whole-exome sequences were evaluated…

Article Abstract Within the over 70 reported transforming growth factor-beta–induced (TGFBI) corneal dystrophy mutations,1more than 40 are associated with lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD), subtypes I, III, IIIA, and IIIB according to the Human Gene Mutation Database (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). This is a follow-up investigation to…
READ MOREUnderstanding the Effects of Waterpipe Smoke on Oxidative Stress in Buccal Cells
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between reactive species and antioxidants production, leading to protein, DNA and lipid damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative stress levels in buccal cells of ten non-shisha and heavy shisha smokers using MAWI iSWAB protein tubes.…
