When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Scientists at the USDA’s Agriculture Research Service have demonstrated the potential of a form of whole genome sequencing for the early detection of Salmonella on food contact surfaces. The ...

Experts have published a series of recommendations for improving equity of access to whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for children with cancer across the U.K.

GeneDx announced major enhancements to its whole genome sequencing offering. The new features include faster turnaround time for rapid whole genome sequencing, buccal samples, and repeat ...

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative evalua ...

Per nature, ONT sequencing was used in a low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lc‐WGS) mode which is affected by the same limitation in terms of sensitivity as lc‐WGS from short‐read technologies ...

Microorganisms are the most abundant life forms on Earth, playing crucial roles in health, disease and many environmental processes. Full characterization of microbial genomes is advancing numerous ...

Genome Insight launches CancerVision in the U.S., a whole genome sequencing approach to offer actionable insights in cancer care.

The study also noted that whole genome sequencing identified other key events such as chromothripsis, the chromosomal rearrangement that plays a role in many cancers.

The combination of whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing (WGTS) is expected to transform diagnosis and treatment for patients with cancer. WGTS is a comprehensive precision diagnostic test that is ...
