TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale pooled screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection is reported, where pooling strategies for RNA extraction and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR detection are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lessons from applied large-scale pooling of 133,816 SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests.

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale group testing for SARS-CoV-2 has been conducted using Dorfman pooling, and the authors found that the pooling efficiency and sensitivity exceeded theoretical predictions.

TL;DR: Pooling strategies to perform RNA extraction and RT-PCR in pools are demonstrated, significantly increasing throughput while maintaining clinical sensitivity and identifying six SARS-CoV-2 positive patients corresponding to 0.11% of the tested population.

TL;DR: Analysis of 133,816 samples collected at April-September 2020, tested by pooling for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, indicates pooling efficiency and sensitivity that exceed theoretical predictions, which resulted from non-random distribution of positive samples in pools.

Megakaryocyte and erythroblast DNA in plasma and platelets
Joshua Moss,Roni Ben-Ami,Ela Shai,Yosef Kalish,Agnes Klochender,Gordon M. Cann,Benjamin Glaser,Ariela Arad,Ruth Shemer,Yuval Dor +9 more
TL;DR: Megakaryocyte- and erythroblast-specific DNA methylation patterns can serve as novel biomarkers for pathologies involving increased or decreased thrombopoiesis and eriesis, which can aid in determining the etiology of aberrant levels of ery Throcytes and platelets.
