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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
April 14, 2025 – Genome Research (https://genome.org) publishes a second special issue highlighting advances in long-read sequencing applications in biology and medicine. In this second Special Issue, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Researchers at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have developed a new machine learning method called SAVANA that significantly reduces sequencing errors for cancer genomes. Long-read ...
