Researchers at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM) in San Diego have successfully applied long-read genome sequencing to reveal the genetic underpinnings of complex psychiatric ...

One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

Long-read sequencing is transforming the landscape of genomic research, offering exceptional resolution and accuracy in the analysis of complex genetic structures. From research in genetic analysis to ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyze long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers' ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes.

In just a few decades, DNA sequencing technologies evolved from slow, manual processes to rapid, automated ones, making ...

Instead of just piecing together short bits of a genome through short-read genomic sequencing, EMBL researchers used long-read nanopore sequencing to gain a more comprehensive understanding of DNA ...

PacBio has announced its participation in the 1000 Genomes Long Read Sequencing Project, contributing long-read transcriptome data to enhance this significant human genomics initiative. Through ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

We spoke to David Klenerman, co-developer of sequencing by synthesis, to find out how his work heralded the next generation ...

SAVANA uses a machine learning algorithm to identify cancer-specific structural variations and copy number aberrations in long-read DNA sequencing data. The complex structure of cancer genomes means ...
