Life Science new tool for Breast Cancer is Genomics and Semiconductor Sequencing Chips

Hybrid Pharma Scientist researched Genome-wide association
studies looking for genetic variations known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). SNPs are alterations in the genetic code in which a single nucleotide, the individual building blocks that make up DNA, is changed. The researchers found that variations in four SNPs located in a region of chromosome 6 were present more often in the breast cancer patients, suggesting that genes in this region might contribute to the risk of breast cancer. The researchers also confirmed the finding of previous studies indicating that the locus named FGFR2 is associated with a 20 percent increased risk of breast cancer.

Hybrid Pharma Panoincell uses Semiconductor Sequencing Chips that create a direct connection between Biochemical and digital
information, bringing these two languages together.Hybrid's chips are designed like any other semiconductor chips.

Pairing proprietary semiconductor technology with sequencing chemistry a nucleotide is incorporated into a strand of DNA by a polymerase, a hydrogen ion is released.

Hybrid Pharma used a high-density array of micro-machined wells for bioctechnology process in a massive way. Each well holds a different DNA template. Beneath the wells is an ion-sensitive layer
and beneath that a proprietary Ion sensor.

When a nucleotide, is added to a DNA template and is then
incorporated into a strand of DNA, a hydrogen ion will be released. The charge from that ion will change the pH of the
solution, which can be detected. Hybrid's sequencer—essentially
will call the base, going directly from Biochemical information to digital information.

If there are two identical bases on the DNA strand, the voltage will be double, and the chip will record two identical bases called.

This process uses no scanners, no cameras, no light—each Nucleotide incorporation is recorded in a real time process.

Panoincell uppressed p53, as it is in many cancers, defective cells multiply, fueling Breast Cancer. p53 can't order a bad cell to kill itself without p63 and p73 also being active.

When metastatic Breast Cancer occurs p63 is inactive.The reactivation of TAp63 could benefit patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Viral transduction of a few genes for the reprogramming of
human somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.Identifying conditions that can replace viral transduction of oncogenic transcription factors (TFs) and enhance reprogramming efficiency. Hybrid Pharma have found that neural progenitor cells can be reprogrammed with fewer genetic manipulations than previously reported somatic cells, and in the other we have found
that small molecules may be able to replace viral integration of
certain transcription factors and promote the reprogramming process.

Life Science has taken the next step.
