Frequently Asked Questions

What is the chief aim of this research endeavor?

"The primary purpose of this investigation, which will be assessed over the course of Baseline, Day 35 and Day 180 is to assess Change in Antibody Responses to Influenza Vaccine Year Three. Additionally, secondary objectives include establishing the Number of chromatin accessibility regions activated in response to Influenza Vaccine in Year Two and Year Three using snATAC-seq as well as determining how many genes are upregulated by both FLUAD and CDC recommended FDA approved influenza vaccinations via RNA-seq and scRNA-seq respectively." - Anonymous Online Contributor
