A landmark study, titled “How error correction affects polymerase chain reaction deduplication: A survey based on unique molecular identifier datasets of short reads” recently published in ...

Influenza is a global health concern, due to annual epidemics of the disease and its potential to cause a pandemic with novel strain variants. Whole-genome sequencing enables ongoing surveillance and ...

Rapid precision run-on sequencing (rPRO-seq) may help doctors understand disease states and treatment response in real time. Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (FL, USA) have ...

DNA sequence analysis software needn't be expensive. For a decade, molecular biologist Kjeld Olesen has spent much of his spare time developing pDRAW32, a free sequence-analysis software package for ...

Molecular testing, or molecular diagnostics, refers to a group of tests that look at the genetic material in a specimen. It can detect genetic risk factors for certain diseases or provide evidence of ...

Using the LightCycler 480 System for Discovery and Analysis of Genetic Variation LightCycler® Real-time PCR Systems from Roche (www.roche.com) are efficient platforms for genetic variation research.

Meta-analysis of the predictive and prognostic value of erlotinib-related biomarkers in phase III, placebo-controlled trials in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Recommendations of the BioLOGUE ...

Chemist Anne Lüscher showed at 39C3 how synthetic DNA can be used for data storage and tamper-proof authentication.

Nearly 20% of all cancers and metastases result from gene fusions—chromosomal rearrangements that lead to chimeric transcripts. This makes gene fusion detection critical for accurate diagnosis, ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers proposed a simplified approach for analyzing messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines using long-read sequencing. Messenger RNA ...
