A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

The landscape of next-generation sequencing (NGS) continues to be defined by astonishing technological progress. We continue ...

Validated next-generation sequencing soon will become necessary in ensuring the safety and efficacy of cell and gene ...

Community-developed approach combines multi-contact 3C with HiFi sequencing to deliver haplotype-resolved assemblies from ...

A novel liquid biopsy technology is set to advance cancer diagnostics and monitoring by overcoming the long-standing challenge of simultaneously achieving high sensitivity, broad coverage, and simple ...

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days -- in a single test and at a much lower cost. One ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. Now, researchers have unveiled a cost-effective sequencing method, dpMIG-seq, that ...

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is not necessarily a solution for someone with a rare, monogenic disease. Indeed, more than half of families with suspected rare monogenic diseases do not have an answer ...

Cornell (NY, USA) researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune ...

Long-read sequencing is being harnessed to improve the rate of rare disease diagnosis. Researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz (CA, USA) have demonstrated that long-read sequencing (LRS ...
